miracle that is india

leave a comment »

river saraswati dries

Parading india creates man

During peace,parading india accelrates breathing

During war,parading india stops enemies’ breathing

Such miracle is india

When war is thrust upon

Parading india wins war

During peace,prading india accelrates breathing

During war,parading india stops enemies’ breathing

Such miracle is india

When epidemic is thrust upon

parading india evolves panacea

During peace,parading india accelrates breathing

During war,parading india stops enemies’ breathing

Such miracle is india

When recession is thrust upon

Parading india prepares gravitating metal-filled astronomical bodies

During peace,parading india accelrates breathing

During war,parading india stops enemies’ breathing

Such miracle is india

one ganges, one india

leave a comment »

living,dying with ganges, self born out of ganges

full stream ganges is india, auric ganges is india

ganges now muddy water, now clean water

ganges now bubbling heart of india, now life-blood of india

ganges now nature twilight, now civil twilight

ganges now forming rock at bottom, now forming balancing act of stones at shore

ganges now solved, unsolved family members’ faced rupik’s cube,

now several sided globe meeting river and river

living dying with ganges, self born out of ganges

full stream ganges is india, auric ganges is india

India ascent to mount everest

leave a comment »

India ascent to mount everest

India known to be finest economy

But dead economy echoes nation-wide

India known to be military might

But india is outweaponised by enemy’s hypersonic jets

India known to be emerging hindu nation

But no reincarnation,no salvation

does India suffers from activities deficit phobia,sovereignty deficit phobia,height phobia?

india’s highest peak expedition without getting eaten alive

Into the thin air,out of thin air

India ascent to mount everest

Dry republic day!

leave a comment »

Rainbow like flag emerged
Children born surrounded by waterless planets
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the republic!
Children grows to be adams and eves
Clouds of not readily mixed oxygen and hydrogen unyielding rain
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the republic!
Those born end up dying
Earth dries to dead earth
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the republic!

squarish watermelons

leave a comment »

dogs eating lions

small fish eating big fish

watermelons grown squarish

bombing tunnels is third world war

blind obedience to next level state

causing mass civil killings in long war

like broken stars,broken earth may discontinue

sun orbit

it is supranova explosion

it is end of civilization

it is universal death

shapeless india

leave a comment »

rogue nation
modern slavery
vicious circle
coldwar
caste divisions up in arm,occupy regime
is it religious sects regaining regime?
is it erstwhile princely estate regaining regime?
is it foreign hand shaking regime?
the thin chicken neck chopped
india is now black hole india
inside amoeba like shapeless india
outside shapeless india
