The Ways of the World

The sun does shine everyday,

But not do all farmers make hay.

The god does shine his grace,

But not all recognize his face.

One often meets fate,

Out of great hate.

On the road he tries to avoid it,

Does one usually face it.

Not all days are sunny,

There are some which are cloudy.

But do they not last long,

For sun is always strong.

There may be time,

Which are as sour as lime.

Many of these are heard,

For these are the ways of the world.

Martyrs' and The Unsung Hero

They died for they saw a brighter tomorrow

And a brighter son in the horizon.

They died with no sorrow,

Martyrs' our country's scions.

The scions with pride

Raise the flag high

In fear do the not hide

Now as martyrs' do the lie.

Not cowed by the opposing number

Ever ready for a sacrifice.

They do not take slumbers

For they will not let the country become ice.

With highest obedience

And greatest diligence,

They are disciplined

and always with a grin.

The unsung heroes

Soldiers-our heroes.

Power of Dreams

Dreams make goals

Which fuel you to reach the poles.

Barriers do they breach

For higher, yourself to reach.

Life without dreams

Is like cake without cream.

Dreams help you scale new heights

And light new knowledge lights.

Dream causes development

And also improvement.

For dreams make happen,  Alexander’s conquest

And Burj-Kalifa the world’s tallest.

Deadman's Dream

The day shall soon come

When the deadman shall be welcome.

His dreams anew 

His powers renewed.

The thing that had caused his destruction,

Shan't  destroy anyone in any direction.

Trees resown in plenty

Carbon reduced in numbers hefty.

God shall shower his good grace on earth,

Man shall live in a place with no dirt.

But alas! It is chilli with cream

What is the use of a Deadman's Dream.

Teachers

Teachers are more than preachers,

They are secret breachers.

They are friends,

Not knowledge fiends.

Teachers are your support pillars,

And also doubt filters.

They make your knowledge as sharp as knife

To make you succeed in life.

Teachers may be strict

But that's just to give your life a lift.

They have brains

To make you the next Einsteins.

Teachers may be smart and strong

And help you recover from many wrongs.

So do respect your teachers

And don't think them as preachers.

Parents

Dear Mother and Father

Come to me hither.

Chase my fear

By coming here

Mother is a God

Who clears all odds.

A person who for you, works hard

And to her, you are a kid with no age bared.

Father is a teacher

Who is also a preacher,

Who clears your doubts

And tells everything its about.

Parents are pillars of support

And justice to your inner court.

They are ever blooming flowers of knowledge

Without any falling petal edge.

Time

Time and tide wait for none

But I remember the time with everyone.

I remember the fun I had with my friends

And also reading about many fiends.

Time is very precious

And also very vicious.

It leaves you with memory

That make you feel happy or eerie.

Time is fixed for everyone

And can be escaped by none.

But in this time what you do

Gives everyone a memory of you.

Time is a beautiful gift

Which gives your mind a lift.

Hence do not waste it 

But run with it.
