Indian Grooms Wink On Gold !

We say one thing and do another,
Expect women their rights to surrender,
Here man should regard women,
As those good angels in heaven.

To deities we give woman's name,
But our women we do defame,
Indian grooms wink eye on gold,
Alas! women are sadly sold.

Many sang in woman's liberation,
Dreamed,poets of our own nation,
Owe to a father of many daughters,
Oh ! their matrimony still bothers.

Progressive measures brought in,
And we made glorious changes to win,
Yet color and creed root to fame,
Sometimes takes unruly name.

Nehrus have fought dowry system,
But grooms still want wisdom,
So many young women die,
Without ransom,with a great sigh!

Equal right is their birth right,
A nation proves weak without might,
Unless rights does it shower,
And takes women to the rightful bower.

Double Blessing !

Oh! Life is nothing but a shadow,
Great or small is rounded with a sleep,
A constant struggle, often ends in sorrow,
The great bard's lamentaion was so deep.

Prince Hamlet asked,"To be,or not to be",
Disgusted in life succumbed to pressure,
Even in rich atmosphere,he was not free,
A life so condemned,ended in failure.

Life that Lord gives and Lord takes,
Whatever misfortune or whatever blessing,
For men of faith,faith never shakes,
Their patience ultimately rewards bring.

They fight a good fight,run a good race,
Achieve double blessing by Lord's grace.

To William Shakespeare !

The Sweet Swan of Stratford-upon-Avon,
You belong not to an age but for all time,
Your achievement hath immeasurable reason,
Verses of emotions have thought and rhyme.

Your sonnets reflect the Elizabethan Age,
True to English,love and true to the salt,
'Love is not love when alters'said the sage,
England owes to you,so English owes a debt.

Intellectual pursuits scaled such an high,
Indeed there are many things in your name,
The constant Nothern Star in the vast sky,
Your name shot in to unconquerable fame.

I dedicate my poems to this mighty ocean,
May be a drop in that sea of great emotion.
