Morals

Values and beliefs
of culture and humanity
shapes morality.

What constitues

Universal moral laws?

Who defines them?

Amidst right and wrong

the morals are questioned 

of the weak by the strong

Voices silenced

by coercion, hegemony and

dictated morals

Paradox

Paradoxically

Birth

World is indeed a beautiful place. But this cover of beauty hides appaling realities, realities which changes conceptions, realities which create panic, destroy youth and begets monsters.

Rifle in their hands

grenades on uniform

eyes on the mission

Undying social stigma

With religion and poverty

Lies dead humanity

Baked in hatred

Scarred and demented mind
Vengeful spirit

A Killing machine

Terrorised world watches

birth of a monster.

Selfless care and love
Years of drudgery for petty whims
Easily forgotton?

Their poor old parents
Weeded out by modern family
rendered helpless

Milky Way

A spiral galaxy
Abode of stars and planets
Living as family

Moon

The Moon has always been a symbol of hope. After the darkest of nights, Full moon shines again..

A Celestial body
Revolving around the earth
In orbital space

When the sun retires
Lost travellers in the night
are guided by the moonlight

In the darkest hour
A silver radiance of hope
Dispels dispair mist.

Soul

image from- google images

Soul, a formless form
present in all living beings
source of profound peace.

Force indestructable

eternal, all prevading

unborn and undead.

A body perishes.

soul moves on and verily

accepts a new body.

As humans discard

Their old and wornout clothes

and buys a new one.

This idea of soul and definition is provided in the holy book of Hinduism, The bhagvadgita. Chapter 2 verse 17 - 25.

Stars

Stars too have a life span, but a star, the creator of the light remains immortal beyond the scope of this word itself.

Giant bodies of gas
shining brightly at a distance
unfathomable

Sun, our nearest star
preserver and sustainer
of all living beings

Begetters of light
Immortal than immortal
Very brief lifespan.

Meaning

A Blind girl has her own connotation and the meaning of light in her life. Her dreams and aspirations.

Unending darkness
Captured in her eyes
devoid of vision

Brightness of the sunshine

Chromatic hues of the rainbow

Meaningless to her

Forest of darkness

where luminous dreams exist

Lightening her life.
