No Need to Run

Often we see people running from the situations and not facing them, which made me wonder why do we do it and how can we be the fighters. Therefore, my this poem shows how can we achieve it.

NO NEED TO RUN


While driving the car
On my way to office,
Got banged into by a mobike
In the heavy traffic.

I sensed this could happen
As that was a sudden jerk,
Thought of scolding the guy,
Yet could not go berserk.

This was because
He was a young collegiate,
Excited he might be,
Of riding a bike of late.

I only thought of preaching to
Not to ride that fast,
For it didn’t hurt me,
But could have been his last.

So, as I opened the window
Of my injured car,
The lad ran scared
As running from the war.

Escaped, assumed he, but
That’s what he cannot,
He will always be a shirker,
In his own web of thought.

This is what we all do,
I earnestly cogitated,
Run from the problem,
Is what we are habituated.

Let’s turn it to a challenge,
And do a face-off.
Let’s learn to be a fighter,
Rather than to scoff.

It’s you who’s in the situation
And only you can duly mend,
Your staying will surely help,
So there’s no need to run my friend.


Love always!

Respect

Dear readers,

Here comes my another poem named “RESPECT”. This is the one thing that every creature  of the earth deserves, hence the poem.


So what if I cannot speak
The language of sophistication.
So what if I could not get
Enough of education.
So what if cannot afford the
attire of modern civilization.
So what if I work for lower wages
In a big organization.
So what if I do not bear
Any specialization.
So what if my skin tone
Is darker than your imagination.
So what if I was born
out of a gruesome situation.
So what if I don’t have a father
To prove my identification.
So what if I lay down every night
In a roofless habitation.
So what if I am not entitled
To the so-called reputation.
But,
Oh people of the world
I am too, just like you
The Almighty’s creation.
I don’t demand much from you,
No sympathy, no adulation.
The only thing if you wish to give,
Then respect is all my requisition.

Happy reading
Love!
Sonam
