Skewed Society!!

When tried to word out truth

Was asked to mute my tongue, as truth was rude,

Tried to vent anger

No ear to heed, my means were crude?

You truths are poisonous, try being a prude

Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.

They boast people as their mentors

Who were taboos in their times

Mocked by men, insulted by society

A rocky road they travelled,

No silk path they ever viewed

Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.

Let such bigoted trolls play their ugly flute

Their stories outdated & obsolete

Their whining now can’t delude

Cursing the opposition is their habit

Abusing new ideas, their food

Why people’s judgements distorting, why opinions skewed.

True Colours!!

There’s a blessing in seclusion

There’s a gift hidden in separation

People aren't the one they seem

Masquerading a self of pure animation

Be true to them with all soul

Pour your heart out in full galore

Open their layers, all attempts will be sore

Are lying through teeth, deception encore

From such treacherous company

From such a traitorous crew

Better be a lone salt, in a sea

Away from all who are tricky and untrue.

Think!!

Stop watering those silly weeds

When your flowers bloom so smart

You are original as this universe

Not a sly boot or some petty upstart

There’s a world inside you

A sea of wisdom, a very kind heart

The evils of world though very distracting

Are they worthy enough in life to bart?

But many silly beings, so consumed in its sheen

Trade their aces to world’s trivial cards

Some are successful, some report a canard

Never hoax a living that was destined to star

Help humanity in suffering

Break reluctance, holding you chained or jarred

A life spent, helping one single soul

 Will bring more peace, and a worthy regard.
