They know what you want ,
Tell all that you cann't,
Time goes on ,but they remain .
Their richness rewards ,
Their wisdom guards ,
They would leave you never alone .
The most trusted friends ,
Whose help never ends ,
Without them 's life lone and lame .
So simple ,though looks ,
But wonderful books ,
All past and future contain .
Just know and acknowledge ,
Their ever growing knowledge ,
Your heart and mind would gain .
If cann't catch sense ,
Need not being tense ,
Go through with all might and main .

The teacher
(from Old Poems)
*
For we could know & face the truth,
O, teacher, gave you that insight.
You taught not only read &write,
But how to work at book of life.
Lost child on sea shore,you got hold ,
And made worth while human life.
Whenever in fix I think of you,
Your words always provide some clue,
As guide, you shade me all my way,
And how to separate wrong &and right.
Unbound the chains & opened door ,
To find the treasure of world lore ,
Crops, ever more once you sowed the seeds,
I owe you wisdom love & light.
For we could know & face the truth,
O, teacher, gave you that insight.

Dhriatashtra can't see - from Old Poems
*
Dhritrashtra can't see ,and weapons are free ,
The ideals impotent ,barbarians free .
*
Where logic is sin ,all new thoughts crime ,
Many thousand years thrown in dust bin ,
Where womanhood is crushed with only disdain ,
Are those human ,are they really sane ?
Where malice to lead , good faith to bury ,
When ethics powerless , what then to decree ?,
*
They suppose they are merited ,all else sinners ,
Only their accordance decides and adhers .
Imprisioned humanity , and throwing away keys ,
They are growing on crops and crops of zombies .
And Dhritrashtra can''t see the hatred is free ,
He inquires, accuses ,waiting further more to be.
*
He only observes and condemns what''s done .
Only avoiding and shuning the action.
Finally he will shout and cry and curse ,
When nothing be left that might reimburse.
All culture ,creation in wilderness cry -
'They only to live ,and all else to die ?',
*

*Dhritshtra - The blind king ,father of the Kauravas ,whose policy of watching injustice silently,resulted in the destructive Indian war of Mahabharata .
The word meaning is -One who is in charge of maintaining law and order in the nation .
Dhritrashtra can't see ,and weapons are free ,
The ideals impotent ,barbarians free .

Woman &Childhood .(From old poems)
*
You can feel fragrance of smiles ,she is child ,
She is growing and glowing in hues so mild .
A candle in mist ,a bliss for sight .
Then makes a heaven of home ,her site .
*
And childhood jumps and clings to her lap.
In womanhood childhood there's no gap.
But time goes on ,she gains grey hair ,
This part of nature ,though ,not fair .
*
Great grand ma nature,never gets old ,
And this injustice never been told --
Great great grand ma ever fresh n 'green ,
And this grand mother never has been .
*
Comes childhood dancing around ,surrounds .
Her content pleasure ,knows no bounds .
She sings lull-a-by ,her grey hair dance
She looks not grown up ,as if in trance .
*
She holds the age old magic -wand ,
To take grandchildren to dream-land .
They grow up come in next stage ,
She takes long leap for infant age .
