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 lies all around

In this world they thrive and abound

In this age of internet.

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 somet...

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)

EVENING SPLENDOUR

The warmth of the sun Fills my heart with pleasure. The beautiful orangish tint of the sky Gives me a moment of awe and wonder. The returning path of the sparrows, Forms a wonderful sight for my leisure. Wind that blows past my heart, Renders it a lot more-fresher. The soothing beckon of the birds, Gives my ears the comfort of splendour. The trees that line the meanders, Makes them look much greener. The sun’s light is not yet weak And the moon is yet to appear. The loveliness of this eve Rejuvenates me and renders me much stronger And feels as if life’s too big While my problems are much smaller! ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)
