Come Friend Buy Some Brains, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

your old one
deleted doomed
blocked unfriended
on facebook ..on
the wane ..posting
blood curdling
pictures what
did you gain
why could you
not be like the
other facebook
nerds simple
plain...now come
buy my brains
buy one get
two free
no bargain
you need it
if you are on
twitter .,,fair

living among
those loud
mouth brainless
deranged ..
140 words

drain

smiling at me
the brains he

what we want
the god above

Ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaye, ghar ke deemak ghar ko khaye

Ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaye, ghar ke deemak ghar ko khaye, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

urban decay
odd staircase
decadence
you only see
what your
minds eyes
show you
they say
i shot
the death
of a home
in tones
of gray
once there
was laughter
lilt mirthful play
children shouting
banter than
suddenly it all
passed away
new walls
new owners
will now come
to stay .. old
dreams dead
gone ..far away


poem inspired by
my friends ..their
thoughts on the
soul of my poetic
consciousness
i replayed ..

ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaye
ghar ke deemak ghar ko khaye
jab bura waqt aye ,,,rishte bandhan
sab toot jaye kal tak the apne
ho jaye paraye ..bhatakte hue
galiyion main ab maut ke saye

Even as An Indian You Are Either A Muslim Hindu Dalit..

Even as An Indian You Are Either A Muslim Hindu Dalit.., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

a christian parsi sikh
or even a buddhist..
your religious code
your cultural
background is
what matters more
the rest bullshit
in some circle
you must fit
come riots its
not just hindus
muslims but an
indian that gets hit
politics of hate
politics of divide
sub divide and rule
gives the criminals
a clean chit ..
we are inhuman
living in a snake pit
killing our humanity
bit by bit ..on human
values old traditions
of tolerance we spit
ruled by dimwits
making money
the essence of
democracy
depraved
disillusioned
misfits
