It takes strength to be firm, it takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer, it takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain, it takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in, it takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend’s pain, it takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure abuse, it takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone, it takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love, it takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive, it takes courage to live.

This time what my fate might be

Shall be accepted with joy by me

Yet I ask to not be told

That my bones and eyes are growing old

 

I know the road to life is tough

But please keep another day for such stuff!

Addiction

Brings tension,

We are prisoners

Of social media, games and Twitter,

All this is junk and litter

 

Everytime is not fine,

Sometimes one is on cloud 9,

Give fun some space

In this gadget maze,

 

Take some pain,

Your efforts won’t go in vain,

It might be a little chaotic

But it is also pragmatic,

 

Try to enjoy life

Without tech vibes,

Your hands are techcuffed,

Cut them and move with your tribes

 

Life is jovial,

Go outside, see the world yourself,

Be happy with other things,

Then you’ll know that excess gadget use stinks.

Technology created a problem

And of course

Needs a solution…

 

People are busy with laptops and mobiles,

Not just a day

But throughout their life…

 

Everyday is now

Moving like a turtle

I don’t know why

It has become a boredom…

 

The boredom was brought

By the word technology

And the tension is that

They find it interesting…

 

Meet, Zoom and Whatsapp

Are now the ways to meet

the people who are far

Or as near as to tweet.

 

Now I think

Why I found it so exciting

I was fine at home initially

But now I’m crying.

Screens, screens, screens, they are addiction machines

You cannot put them down

Even if you do so, you have a big, big frown

Games, Apps and social media

Are harmful for your health.

You can check an Encyclopedia!

Use them to talk to friends far away

But don’t forget the loved ones nearby

Instead of looking at videos

Look at the clear blue sky

Hear me now answer me well

The only remedy for the screen addiction Spell

Is to excess-gadget-use from your life expell!

Let it go, let it flow, they said;
but how could I, it’s dearest to me, the soul said;
taking leaps of faith and credence, I tread;
but oh, afflicted my heart they left;
they left and never seemed to return, and that is when my belief made a turn;
were they for real or just a delusion, I seemed to ponder;
the cosset I bestow, it seemed to shatter;
the pieces so many, I lost the count,
but my instinct made me take a round,
it is then that I noticed, the path was clear,
they had made a decision, and it was upon me to configure;
the mind, the soul and this beautiful heart, it will always be, I assure you this part;
it was time to move on, shift the focus a bit, but the void they created, didn’t let me settle in;
it is thus difficult to believe that you won’t do me like they did, for if you do, the heart will forbid;
anguish, dolour, vexation and nothing else,
the only feelings that are now bound to dwell;
let it go, let it flow, they said;
but how could I, it’s dearest to me, the soul said.

This lockdown has made everyone mad

But we got to spend time with mom and dad

The best thing about lockdown is that

It taught us how to face difficult situations

But it is not so easy like math equations.

 

We have been cutting down trees

Which is not allowing blowing of fresh breeze.

 

The decision of lockdown has given India a lot of fame

Everything has stopped including every game.

 

At last I would say lockdown is good and bad both

It is your way now how you live it.

This is a poem on all the planets. Each planet represents a member of a band.

 

MERCURY – Guitarist

Mood maker of the band

Making the universe dance with guitar in its hand

Likes to irritate the sun

Thinking that it’s fun

But it’s actually none for the Sun

 

VENUS – pianist

The hottest of all

Acting like the pianist I recall

The quieter are its strings

The deeper it thinks

 

EARTH- lead singer

The most beautiful planet inside out

Spreading its voice all around

Is happy in every decision

But likes to concentrate on the smallest precision

 

MARS- drummer

The most mysterious amongst all the planets

Has very weird habits

Listening to super weird songs

Everyday spending its time in the sky with the dawn

 

 

JUPITER- main rapper

Grumpiest of all

Doesn’t like anyone’s opinion at all

Biggest of all

Firing its raps like a cannon ball

 

SATURN- main singer

The title of chatterbox goes to Saturn

Hitting everyone with its circular ring pattern

Thinks of herself to be very sassy

But her voice makes the whole stage happy

 

URANUS- guitarist

Having an amazing fashion sense

Keeping up with the trends

Showing her skills on the guitar

Shining bright as a star

 

NEPTUNE- dancer

The energiser of the group

Dancing around in a loop

The galaxy-wide handsome

Having its own fandom

 

PLUTO- the common cute dog of the band

The mischievous dog

Loves to go on a jog

Runs away here and there

Such a troublemaker I swear.

Like stones hurled at the earth,
The rain rushes down in torrents,
The winds blowing out the only warm hearth,

Bringing in the cold.

 

Coming down with force unbearable,
The wind playing along,
Whistling through the trees,

The tender branches bending.

 

Like a playing song,
The force rising and falling,
Playing sometime and stopping the rest,

Making a racket.

 

Grey clouds covering the sky,
Seems as if the sky is crying with me,
But the rain of sorrow will end,

Bringing happiness in.

Everything was normal and regular in life

But a pandemic came and gave us strife

The lockdown brought a big frown

Our world was turned upside down

Life was changing with new rules to abide

What to do, no one could decide

When the lockdown opened, things got better

But nothing could control the ongoing terror

We have to continue to live and survive

For that we need to be cautious and look alive

We’ll have to wear masks and wash both our hands

And be two feet away from where the other person stands

No hugging or snuggling against each other

Our lives from now will be tougher

But the ultimate aim is to be happy

We need to raise our spirits and not be sloppy

We need to adapt to the situation and embrace the change

We’ll learn the new ways even if they are strange

We will face all challenges

And heal from all damages

In the end, we will be triumphant

All we should do is be patient !!!
