A moment of hate...

A moment of hate...
It was just a regular morning
Kids laughing preparing for schools
People starting the day in hopes
Each with new desires and ambitions
A beautiful day that soon changed...
Destiny of many across the globe
A bomb of hatred dropped from skies
Deafened, killed and spread the fire
Sign of hatred...selfish desires
What fault lay in innocent lives
Lives ruined, families perished
Map of the country forever changed
Shocked the world...questions raised
Value of lives forever changed
Effects of hatred still linger on
Paying for it through generations now
Unborn lives pay painfully
Questioning the world about their faults
Moment of hate has left pug marks
Generations shall go by...can't erase
Future shall hang its head in shame
Learn the lessons of this hate
May this teach us lessons of love
Bring back moments of pride
Let hate not divide us all
We have just one life on the planet
Earth has given us unconditional
Let us return it with good gestures
Leave behind a beautiful world
Let Hiroshima be a painful lesson
A lone lesson of hate forever
A moment of hate...happens never ever.

Paint of lies

Paint of lies 
Splattered all over 
Thick and thin coats 
Over rugged truths
Perhaps covered hurriedly 
Too afraid of being resisted
The truth often stays silent
Unaware at times
At times too shocked
And often unable to resist....
Buried under its own goodness.
The lies of paint smiles...evilly
Dances at times
Splashing its filth
Often times on others
Not realizing that some day
The pile of filth shall give way
As truth shall some say prevail
Push it's pure timid head
Through the layers of paints of lies
Cutting it down
Pushing it off to raise questions
That day the paint of lies
Shall have no answers
But shall pick its scraped pieces
And walk away learning the fact
That no matter what....
Truth always prevails.

You pinned me to a corner....

A poem written on bullying having witnessed it around. My tribute to those who went through it and go through it just because they choose to remain silent because of various reasons, one being holding their own dignity.....

You pinned me to a corner....
As I walked into the room
I feel eyes piercing my lean frame
Eyes down I walk, quiet and alone
Yet I see your glances exchange
As you stand with your gang
Sneering and jeering
Pinning my scared small frame.
Nervous and alone I shiver inside
As I know not what's my fault
I see you texting words far away
Perhaps false words and thoughts
Gossip and sinister plans
Made by an insecure evil mind.
I feel a culprit and doubt myself
Standing out like a sore thumb
Lose my confidence and so afraid
While you all laugh away.
There are eyes that watch you
Quiet and observant....noticing
Your ways and bullying openly
Feel my ache yet stay quiet
Support silently with dignity.
You think you can bring me down
Sadly it's your reality blaring bright
Just remember it's your day today
You think I'm vain and no good
You gang up against me no end
While I live in silence and solitude
I discover myself as I self connect
Better myself each and everyday
I learn not to hurt and gang up
I stand for more souls like me
Someday when tables turn
You shall see the pain I lived in
I shall not shun you like you did
Instead I shall see you through.
You pin me in the corner today
Higher from there I shall rise
Life's so unpredictable and surreal
I know some soulful day shall come
As morning sun shall rise
Where I stand today....
Tomorrow you shall pine.

As I gaze at the sunset

As I gaze at the sunset
sitting alone by the window
watching the clouds go past
the shimmer of sun reflection
giving life itself to choppy waters.
I seek the skyline,
see the sun and shimmer
see no divide no difference.
I smile ....I realize
the power & love of the Sun.
So is true love in life,
it erases the line
between two hearts
that are meant to be.
The love you give
brightens my heart
gives me a reason to live
The light of love shines together
brightens our world
reflects & erases
the fine line that divides
and makes us two people.
Stay, give, brighten my world
the reflection is a sign
of my life itself.
@Rouchi6
Be the love to unite hearts and bring love , happiness and harmony around. Just as the bright sunshine erases the line that divides the sun and the sea, love can erase any line of divide.
