FUNNY
 
"What good act you did?"  asked a Sage.
"I saved a fly from Spider's net"  he replied.
"No,  it's bad,  for,  you took away Spider's food"
 
"Do you love thy neighbour" asked Rev. Father.
He did and was scolded by her Father.
 
"Work Hard, you will ger rewarded" said the Boss.
He did.....and got more work.
 
"Do you pray for solving your problems" asked Spiritual Teacher.
He prayed but,
his problems increased and
got complicated.
 
OH, Funny, is it not?
(1982)
 
YESTERDAYS
 
It's like Yesterdays
when
I was having Merry Days
 
I felt no need for money
yet, entertained many
 
I  had no fears
and was full of Cheers
 
I was loved by everyone
with whom I made every fun
 
I knew no sorrow, for
I worried not about tomorrow
 
All these when I was one
I wish I were back to that one
(1982)
 
OCEAN
 
Right from the time of its release
from her
she fondles it
nurses it
cries for its happiness
keeps awake for its sleep
suffers and starves
to alleviate its sufferings
sacrifies
for its upliftment
and dies
for its growth
and prosperity
 
An incarnation of
Ocean of Love
knowing only
kindness and love
and showering nothing
but affection and compassion
in abundance
and that is
MOTHER
like GODDESS
 
Oh,  How unfortunate am I
Not to have been blessed
with such love for long
for
she left me for Heaven
When I was just Seven
(1980)
