THE ESOTERIC

Losses abound, sorrows abound,
Abound is everything else.
But success remains too dear
For the multitude, which the rich
Do buy it cheap on the loots
Hoarded by robbing of the poor.

Revolutions have risen and fallen,
Hopes have emerged and sunk,
But 'egalitarian' the earth that is
Has remained a home for plutocrats
Infinite since the days of yore.

The 'homicrats' are hypocrites--
Savants or savages, sinners or saints;
By might, or by the right of laws,
By grafts, by crafts, by crimes--
They have bled the poor over and over.

The sabotteur's hand on the tiller
The esoteric make runs free
Through plural dupes and dummies,
As the cogs of the 'neo-mobocracy'
Crush mercilessly the public and poor.

By the pseudo-designer's dishonest design,
With the lethality that's built in,
Do swarm the cronyists round the disguised fire,
Mauling fellows for the pyrrhic wins,
And have made the consequences fatally dire.

TELL ME NOT

                     Tell Me Not Tell me not I was once a lad; An open sky that I once had, That offered me untold delight And lit my spirit day and night. Remind me not the days and nights That told me tales and flew my kites; Many a game that I did play With heart and soul unleashed and gay. Jog not my memory I once sailed Alone for miles and there beheld On either side, along the inlet, Many a willow and flowery thicket. Bring me not back the rights all lost,  All things that came by free of cost; Affection, love, all poured on me, Even when I was wilful, naughty. I'm in my time, leave me to suffer From weakness, bloating, bugs, whatever: Let me be in my dying yard; But tell not I was once a lad.   -- N P Samal

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.
