Unemployment

Unemployment
is the sea of desert
sea of tranquility
sea of scorpion
crumbling and slipping
having no direction
but it is a sea in mind

Unemployed
is a treee of wooden structure
tree of black burnt wood
no green bird , except
vulture, eagle preys
starving for flesh
under the tree
foxes wolves hunter dogs
liquid of mouh of greediness
an unemployed
is a deaf having hearing power
a dumb being a good speaker
of the teen
blind even being selected in
air force earlier
a handicappied
being skilled physically

Unemployed is sufferer
from society, family
mentally, individually
spiritually as well materially
hence a diseased like
epilepsy abnormality and parlysis

Unemployed
is a illiterate with a degree
a lonely man with
thousand friends and relatives
a frustrated man seening the youth
moving luxuriously
a jelous of
wealthy playing and dancing youth
a blamer of fate

ur poem has touched all the aspects , and has painted a true picture. it lefts an indelible mark on readers like me . a bitter truth which almost all indians hav passed in their youth.

the poem was comes from the heart of a person who can feel the pin of human. he tries to reflect the nonization of ther greae resources of our socity. the comparision made by the poet gave us the density of the problem and its intensity to the organization. so it is upto us what we will do next. the poen didn't refelct the remidies but it is still good.

Already Departed In the cold room we stepped Into the smell of warmed polish Well rubbed into the grain It was just as before Maturity did not grow new Eyes or smother truth with The trades material magic The silent music that creeped Out of the walls blended like magic Those sensible open-curtains That always draws attention from Saddened pity to empty dullness Swallowing lumps that pierce Tears at the thought Of entering the next room While gripping ones own fists Until white with surrounding Tear-shaped red marks How the moments of being Alone with nothing less Than two bodies without company Is it love, respect, pity Or just extreme curiosity That draws us here?

Some Things More Important Than Poetry Life,and people-work and family Commitments made to be honored- Births,deaths,funerals,pain- Witnessing at the passing of others Periods of necessary silences Times when all poems blow away Times when one must be lost - in a crowd or alone/on Internet or phone Times when to shop is of utmost importance! Eating,drinking,sleeping,dreaming Whole lives when nothing particularly happens! Gaps between-travelling.Growing into rituals-Reading,listening,absorbing Praying,meditating,waiting Every participle participant particle Every authenticated distancing mechanism Poetry must wait at the intersection of thoughts and feelings and feed upon the scraps again.

That Beauty The world boasts an ever changing face of garden Plants fall in and fall out of favours Set trends come and diminished fashions forgotten Preferences confuse taste with choices of colours Like an ever altering cinemascope In this mindscape of flux Some mysterious favourites remain a thin hope An instant release attracts keen emotion influx Amidst the numerous stars, moon may stand aloof To dwarf the crown Queen of roses’ simmering fun But when evening primrose invites for hard proof I dream only the daughter of light with fragrance of sun That beauty conquers with confidence and insight That beauty also makes night an easy delight
