AS THE YEAR SINKS INTO OBLIVION
Before the year turns tale,
And adds a whole saga
Of good and bad memories
To our being
Before we find ourselves too poor
Having been left with
Too little time to do any good
To it or to ourselves
Thy poet was singing
Of the music of the stars
Carrying heavy loads of words
Writing epics and odes.
Did he say anything
Or just shot these bullets into the air
To create the illusion
Of a great eventful affair?
He was carrying huge bundles
Of choicest words and similes
Said what never was said
In words alien to loyalty in bed.
Money never blurts out its ancestry
Nor will the harlot, her affair
Words are never known for loyalty
Or the art of being fair.
***
RESERVE
I was not allowed to play
On the pitch
Some luckier fellows
Got the chance
To win or lose
And thus gain the confidence
If you stay in reserve only
And do not play
For successive years
Can you be called
An experienced player
With combat experience?
I have an overpowering feeling
Of being a reject
As I am not allowed
To play in the first line
Now, I have developed liking
For letting others fight and go down
Some wag told me
The match was fixed
And those who play in front
Or stay behind in reserve
Are all sold out
No one can win this lottery.
