Let My Country Awake

where the mind is withour fear
and the head is held high
where knowledge is free
where the world has not been broken
into fragments by narrow domestic walls

where words come out from the depth of truth
where tireless striving stretches its arms
towards prefection;

where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
where the mind is led forward by thee
into ever-lasting thought and action
into that heaven of freedom, my father

I came across this beautiful poem

http://obscuredbyclouds.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/06/i-can-see-you-still.htm

I used to love the word "system"

written on 10/8/90

Systematic evaluation of life
in the long run is always a strife
Changes is in everything must take place in life
we live to die but we must enjoy the life
For changes in our living we need the drive
which comes from faith in strive

courage, love, truth and god's grace
which comes thru a good heart and man's love
working for oneself and one's nest never become a life
living for known and unknown lives
is the living fully a human life

All our journey is to death
Journey is good in life
life is to be loved to enjoy
for death to be sweet and worth

Home food

Written on 9/8/90 at chennai

To go to a restaurant for eating
is a joy and change during anytime

breakfast by fresh juice drinks
lunch by heavy meals
snacks by after noon
cream and savories in the evening

light foods at nights
for having a good sleep in moonlight

Still to cook at home and eat is still wonderful, why?

I wrote on my mother

Wrote on 12/8/90 in chennai

My mother is a symbol of love to me
to her So much I owe
serene and peaceful like dove
is her heart full of love for me

harsh and mad is her nature
but I have no fear for her
for then I cannot fear her
for sincerely I like, obey and love her

trying hard to change me
she scolds, because she likes me
mad to make me better
she screams, as she loves me

never can I repay any of her love
for she is my own birth
so how I can my repay my own debt
if any?

No road is long with a good company

Wrote on 4/8/90

All Journey is a joy
travel to enjoy
Earth is not all same and dry
to be with friends , wonders can be made

to talk, walk , share
in play, pray , eat
to forget sorrow, study, work
yet learn, love and thank

Sitting or standing ,
Running or sleeping
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
sun or rain, day or night
to be with your friends and loved ones is Heaven

Lover Sun's flower

Wrote on 3/8/90 @ chennai

She blossoms in the color of her love
She blossoms in the shape of her love
She blossoms with her lover
She blooms in the direction of her lover

She follows her love
She suffers for her love
She glues to her love

With so great Ideals of life, love, friendship, sacrifice
makes Sun rises everyday to see his lover "sunflower" bloom
Every living being on earth owes the sunflower their life
for she brings the energy of her lover to shine, bright and great

My Tommy

Wrote on 2/8/90 in Chennai, TN, India

My dog Tommy
My little tommy was a puppy
when I was young enough to be a baby
So our friendship was instant and innocent

we blossomed faster and stronger in our friendship
So faithful and friendly,
he follows me wherever I walk
he carries me on his back

he used to warn at many danger
he runs into me at every corner
he is alert in every needful hour

Our tommy left us three years
we were friends
we left me with memories
of great warmth, strength, fun and happiness

I did Jogging once

1/8/90
Hip hip hurray
Jogging on my way
on Sun's first ray
for health, being happy
and before my youth say
old is gold, on a better day

I Dream

30/7/90
I wait for the night to have a dream
it inspires like a child who sees a cream
all the dreams are not cream
but they do make me beam

My foundations are my imaginations
the castles I built on them are my ambitions
but ambitions to success requires actions
Real, original actions with dedications
