Poem 289 - Expectations - Safer Home

Image link here

I live in garbage

Dirty water actually

This isn't living

Man pollutes my home

Expecting a safer home;

In the other world

Poem 288 - The Current Youth

Image link here

It seems, we are the future, is it true?

And what are we supposed to do? I have no clue

Questions or riddles actually and I'm answer-less

If we are the future, the world might be a mess

With this generation, I have to cooperate?

And you expect us to wake up earlier than half-past eight?

And by telling me that we - the youth are the future makers, nice joke I say

We'll destroy it not create I'll bet any day

This generation, where technology has overtaken studies

And reading books is not as important as "hanging out" with 'buddies'

Will we change you think? I feel hopeless

We really seem to be in quite a big mess

Hopefully this will all be a big lie

I'm pretty sure you don't need to ask me 'why?'

So crisp like paper

Magnificently she removes

Pancakes from the pan

They're brown as honey

Exquisite delicacy 

Hot, yummy pancake

What a gift I have

In my wonderful sister

The most precious gift 

Teases me a lot

But of course loves me much more

Invaluable

Helpful, loving, cool

I'm lucky to be gifted

A brilliant sister

Poem 285 - The Magic Of Childhood

Image link here

These few years, I'll hopefully enjoy to the most

After school days, who'll consider me a child?

Will I be considered small enough to be scared of ghosts?

And in a few years, I won't be able to act wild

Childhood has its magic in a beautiful way

Noticed by us almost at the last moment

Wont it be too late, to enjoy childhood to the fullest on the last day?

And when childhood's almost over, you don't know where it went

You won't be able to have a snow-fight

You won't be considered innocent when you go for a midnight snack

All these privileges, just as a child, it seems to give us so much might

And when you've realised you have wasted the magic of childhood, its too late to turn back

Pillow fights, sleepovers and what not for today

This special limited offer pack of  happiness and fun

Seems to be the most valuable yet shortest of joy's stay

And yet, when you notice it - childhood's almost done 

Just almost done :D

Poem 284 - Happy B'day Sis!

Fourteen years have passed in a day i guess

For all this time has been so less

Wasn't it yesterday that we were fighting for the laptop?

And wasn't it mummy who made us stop?

Wasn't it yesterday you saw a lizard and started screaming

Is it really fourteen years? Or am I dreaming?

Time goes fast, but we never have the time to realise

By fighting and wasting time we were so unwise

But agree it, the amount we fought, was the best part of us

Shouting and hitting we created such a fuss

Fourteen years all the time we've been together - so much fun

I don't think we've forgiven each other for all the phan

Akka, I love you and I cant express it

But I'm pretty sure you understand every bit

Remember-?

Dropping nail polish on the floor?

Sending each other notes from under the door?

Me taking my revenge and irritating you?

Those good old days so precious and few

Dancing around mummy - and the longest hug competition

Thinking about it - what a wonderful vision

Happy eighteenth Akka

Though I've been there only for fourteen

I'm pretty sure your life was boring without me

Mine would be too without you - you see?

Happy birthday Akka...and may you have many more
