WISE UP, O DRIVER !

Wise up, o driver! See how your
mad impulse
Has set on road the 'wheel of death'
that fast rolls.
Do heed the alarms the past rings 
much in dread,
Of gory fact that has ravaged the
human breed...!
Vehicles are many and chaoticly
mobile,
The road but one, with them runs 
your vehicle.
Your craze for speed is by each 
norm insane,
The spell of haste is bound for
fated bane.
The road that lies ahead ain't bare
or straight,
Or not a race course for your
daring trait.
The right that's yours is that all
do possess,
On self-restraint and rules rests
each success.
The vehicle own may you, but road
you don't,
Licence for all to drive limits 
your wont.
There's danger in your arbitrary
run,
To mouth of Death steers your each
racing fun.
The whim of yours decides your
fate alone,
To save from misfortune, there
is none.
Yet, death ain't punishment you
get and vanish,
But a penance for your kindred
you unleash.
Far more inhumanly is your 
'sin of death',
For painful hell that for them
you bequeath...

Wise up, o driver, wise up!
Beware!
The stalking Death will catch you 
unaware.
The wrath of God will dump you
to perdition,
Forever, you shall suffer in 
damnation!!!

KISS ME, PLEASE!

Woo-hoo...! Kisss you...u...u...u...??? Oh, I'm being frenzical !!! My slavering tongue is jerking fast And my quivering lips are pouting out With booms of kisses in the air -- Ummah...! Ummah...! Ummah...! Just yesterday, an okay got my promise. Today is the chance no way to miss. And ready is my basket with pecks, Lip-locks, French kisses, and other varieties... I'm also ready for the lizard kiss, And the kiss of the Spider man... And I'm sure I won't beg like Big B  -- (Juma, chumma de de chumma...), This is my right to kiss I earn'd this week. I shall kiss like one Dhoom 2's Hritthik-Aash's, Although I envy Emraan's 'Murderous' thriller kiss... I'm ready with my balmy lips, Strawberry flavour'd,  To be the biggest smoocher  Of do hazaar chhabees... And I have hidden the cracks  On my wintry lips  To save from rashes My Valentine's softy cheeks... Well with flushed up teeth, With cleaned up tongue, With exotic ...

THE CHILDREN OF GAZA

                 The Children Of Gaza                               A Blank Verse Thundering in the sky, then rain of missiles... See how they are fleeing arms outstretched  Like the broken wings of storm-hit birds, And see their faces white with fear and hunger And hear their throbbing voice of pain and loss... Over their head, the sky's no kites, no clouds, But fire and fire amidst engulfing smoke, And they are running like the Napalm girl  From Vietnam or standing frozen, like The standing boy from Nagasaki, before Their elders who are whispering in fear Or staring helpless in the gauge of Death... They are the hapless children caught in the war zone. They have no home, no school, no ground of freedom, But sole refugee camps and hospitals  If marching death has spared them of their life. They hear not bedtime tales but sirens of death.  For them,...

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

                    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 P Samal
