DRIVER'S PRAYER

Driver's Prayer

(1)
Oh God,

Let me be with You, not with the demon!
Let me learn from You, not from the demon!

Let me be with sense, not with folly!
Let me be disciplined, not unruly!

Let me be calm, not excited!
Let me be broad, not narrow-minded!

Let me be patient, not impatient!
Let me be acceptive, not violent!

Let me be careful, not careless!
Let me be mindful, not mindless!

Let me feel that others are like me!
Let me be for them alert and wary!

Let me be law-abiding, not an offender!
Let me obey the traffic, not create disorder!

Let me realize that money is life's essence!
Let me not waste money by causing accidents!

Let me not use mobile while driving!
Let me not be urgent for call-answering!

Let me in no case drive on the wrong side!
Let me keep gap from others long and wide!

Let me be mindful of vehicle maintenance!
Let me refrain from taking any chance!

Let me drive slow, not drive fast!
Let me live long, not shortly last!

Let me remember my blood are over there!
Let me return safe for their care!
                                          
                                          (2)                                    
Let no vehicle crash onto me!
Let no dog or deer run into me!

Let no show attract my attention!
Let no allure distort my vision!

Let no emotion affect my intelligence!
Let no abstraction obscure my ambience!

Let no incident cut off my presence of mind!
Let no folly betray my mind from behind!

Let each speed breaker appear clear!
Let no pothole, if any, from eyes disappear!

Let no urgency force me drive in haste!
Let no learning of mine go waste!

Let none make me apply sudden brake!
Let none put my life in stake!

Let none brake suddenly before me or tailgate!
Let none, other than me, decide my fate!

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
