SCAR

A scar in my chest, a scar in my brow,
a scar in my palm, a scar in my elbow.
Those scars fade, as time slips.
  
A scar in my psyche, a scar in my spirit.
a scar in my heart, a scar in my soul,
These invisible scars harden;
and toughen my emotion.

Growing Up

 I never grew up

I still like beer
like I did when I was 16
Mommy
Daddy
all my teachers
several bosses
lots of friends
they all told me to grow up
I never did
Even my children hint at it
Dad! Gotta love ya
and then they giggle
That is the part I love
And when my wife says...
That is just the way he is..
I even like that better.
A kid in an old mans body
How good can it get

Rare Find

It's a rare find these days,
to find a beautiful mature person.
It's is either
beautiful and still a baby,
or matured and ugly.
not because it's the natural law,
but because most of us grow,
bringing with us negativities.
It's not just because of the law of gravity,
that the skin sags and
eye bugs drop in asymmetry
but more because of keeping under our skin,
resentment, frustrations
unforgiveness,  
anger and envy.
and I'm not pointing here
mere physical beauty.
 
 
We can still grow old gracefully,
maybe not physically pretty.
but we can dress our personality
with grace, kindness and congeniality.
It doesn't need an expensive jewelry
to show or bring out the best in us.
 
a warm smile than a frown
a cheerful disposition than a "feeling down"
for sure can make us grow with inner calm.
 
like an unattractive duckling
into graceful swan
or like an ugly caterpillar
into a beautiful butterfly.
or like a pure gold
that keeps its luster
despite the passage of time.

The Best Version of Me

I'm thankful that He made me the way I am
I can't imagine myself
if He made me like Alexander the Great
or He made me like Socrates
I guess He made the best version of me
not so well known
but happy and contented on my own.
 
I don't know what if He made me like Gandhi
Surely it's not me anymore
so instead of questioning why He didn't made me
as handsome as the mythical Narcissus or Adonis
or as powerful as Napoleon
x
I know I am blessed because he made me
to be the best version of me.
 
He doesn't made all the flowers to be daisies
Some are roses, some are tulips, and some are lilies
He doesn't made all the birds to be eagles
some are bluebirds, and some are falcons
So thankful for the diversity
Brown, red, yellow, beige, white, black or blue
I'm thankful for the variety
for the wealth in diversity
and I know this is the best version of me.

Guilty Pleasure

I'm happy
but I feel guilty
of doing a thing which is others say…
a satiation to be abhorred
 
I'm living in this world…
of instilling what is moral
giving me  lingering guilt…
Instead of peace after the said gratifying sensations
 
I'm happy with what I have done
guilty pleasures!...
but the larvae and worms of religion
is pestering my conscience
 
I'm neither a monk nor a hermit…
I am flesh and not a spirit
I'm surrounded with heart-beating human…
who make my pandering emotions in wrangle
 
Perhaps!...
what the religion says as heavenly paradise…
is for the innocents…

Survival of the Laziest

Reality check 
in the world of 'survival of the laziest'
the laziest one survives, the industrious one transfers
 
Survival of the laziest, 
the new sacred shibboleth
of the so called corporate
 
the laziest you are , the longer you stay
the enthusiastic you are , the more exhausted you are,
 in the so called workplace
 
just a reality check , why this thrive in the modern corporate
the laziest holds the power, the hard working still works the harder.

Have Faith

If you look for gold,  you'll find gold. 

If you'll look for love, you'll find love.

Money is a gift of God, use it properly. 

If you can obtain more, 

multiply the works for promoting God's glory!

The greatest of all sins is to lose hope. 

The laziest act is to stop dreaming.

The greatest loss is to give up on faith. 

Do something today to realize your dreams.
