Life’s Ups And Downs
As the mountaineer up the mountain ascends
Traversing the path that he will have to descend
At the sight, an ordinary man
Would have shuddered
Up hills and pitfalls, all a part of life
Whether it is easy going or only strife
Sometimes an obstacle comes in the way
Sometimes it is smooth going all the way
Life’s ups and downs add to its totality
Lending to it an air of immortality

Death Unknown
After death the era seems
Bleak and dreary
Woven around it an aura of mystery
Will I have to repent for my sins
Or will I be classed divine
All questions answered at the
mercy of time
Will I be in God’s domain
Or will me be, Satan slain
If I knew distinctly I would
Have an upper hand
God rules supremely over the
Law of the land
I am afraid of the outcome of death
Will it or will it not be as I suggest

Live And Let Live
You took her out to the
Cozy restaurant for dinner
I was vociferous in-my appeal
For you as sinner
Social taboos should never erect
A wall between us
Otherwise, our relationship
Will take a turn for the disastrous
My catty instincts
Were aroused by your
Blast of voice
If only I could have told myself
Never mind, its his choice
The norm of the day is
Follow a strict diet
A pound here or there will not
A tremendous impact
Make on the weight
Live and let live
Take and learn to give

Buzz Off Telephone
Behold and be apprised
Of the current inflation and rise
In atta prices and the general
And of course, dowries too
Acquaint you I shall
With the so called water and loo
Escapism with my telephone
From the hullabaloo
Hi, hullo, how do you do?
Hadn't we just met?
Before an hour or two
Serves me right
If it was hatred at first sight,
Out of sight, sorry upright, my telephone
Bill read
Not in units, tens but in hundreds
