GLANCE

This fine gush of wind soothes my soul.

The sight of the setting sun refreshes my body as a whole.

The flight of birds reminds me of my flying aspirations.

The swerving trees make several revelations

About life and it’s swinging nature;

Sometimes being cruel and other times having a benevolent demeanour.

The shrouded sky resembles my doubts and suspicion

Regarding my dreams and ambition.

The sweet beckoning sound of the birds

That keeps on emanating from their herds

Seems to me as if life’s giving some indication

About the prevailing conditions and makes an estimation

Regarding the future and the prospects of the future

That are cloaked by the narcissism that we nurtured;

It’s time we unite and say together,

“Even though we failed to wonder

How far we have walked alone

Let’s make mankind one and sing in a single tone

The song of kindness and generosity

And let’s be compassionate and not just feel pity

At others’ sorrows and grief

Let’s do something for each other as our stay is not long but brief.”

Life’s Just Something

Life’s just a storm That needs to be beaten and sent back. Life’s just a turbulence  That needs to be withstood and let it pass. Life’s just a sultry sunny day That needs to be experienced and sweat it away. Life’s just a rainy day That needs to be endured and allowed to pour. Life’s just a tree That needs to grow and be supported to do so. Life’s just a dream That needs to be seen and realised in reality. ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)

IN THIS AGE OF INTERNET

The advent of technology Has completely changed our mentality In this age of internet.   People obscure themselves with a smiling face And such folks can be found in every corner and every place In this age of internet.   People pretend to be What they aren’t actually In this age of internet.   Deception is present in every corner Evil is served with a sweet flavour In this age of internet.   We have the ever-virtuous men and women Who never make a mistake now and then In this age of internet.   People object you if you aspire to make a difference And will diatribe you till you lose your vigour and confidence In this age of internet.   People don’t have time to spend with you Because they have to update their stories too In this age of internet.   People don’t bother to help you when you’re in danger Rather they ignore you when you ask for a favour In this age of internet.   It’s just...

THE VIBRANT UGLINESS OF LIFE

It’s not going to be easy, Nor was it meant to be. But don’t let your dreams die Under the thatches of mediocrity.   You might be exposed to a lot of ugliness, And your life might be pervaded by a se nse of emptiness, But don’t let it resist your soul From reaching the kingdom of happiness.   Your life may be filled with difficulties And your soul lacking the very sense of vitalities. But don’t let them defeat you With your sheer ignorance and unconditional sensibilities.   Your failures may outnumber your prosperities And you might be failing to address any of your difficulties. But don’t let that make you doubt yourself And estrange you from your wonderous abilities. ~ Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)
