MAMA WONDERS -- 2 : RHYME 68

How people for life do vilely vie,
When each one will one day die!

How people be spiteful and selfish, 
When they live on common service!

How people think themselves wisest,
When wisdom comes from the rest!

How people crave for worldly things,
When the things have short lastings!

How people make gangs and foes,
When each comes alone, alone goes!

How people do have evil biases,
When they believe in divine graces!

How people turn against others' soul,
When soul belongs to Supreme Soul!

How people madly laugh at others,
When they do shed their own tears!

How people don't forgive others,
When they themselves do all wrongs!

How people break laws, and truth,
When none has true rights and ruth!

How people commit inhuman deeds,
When they rejoice over human breeds!

How people do endlessly wish for,
When dreams come, then disappear!

How people wish for immortality,
When they kill the Soul of Divinity!

How people draw a foolproof life,
When life is fitful, weird and brief!

How people fight for time and space,
When life is just a bubble with no base!

How people are mad for what appears,
When none knows why is this universe,

Why birth, why death, why Creation grows,
Why sun shines, water flows, wind blows!

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry-- Whole drown'd in tears--be it night or day it be-- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry. (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?) But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does 'part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- 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. P. SAMAL 

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
