Dear MANkind,
If you hear me,
Just for a day, make me a boy,
And untie me of the social knots.
Just for a day, make me a bird,
And let me fly in this limitless sky.
Just for a day, make me invisible,
And let me walk anywhere and everywhere,
not being leered at.
Just for a day, make me feel human.
And let me know what
humanity tastes like.

If there were
no such
thing as Justice
in the world,
Would you still
share your
grievance ?-
Neither my
tears were
enough to
express the pain,
Nor were your
hands enough
to obliterate the
unseen agony.-
Believe me !
I upheld the pain,
I have faced fear,
I have been through treachery,
I believe in sham ,
because the reality of life is masked.
I have known the path,
I have been through.
Hence, I don't believe in permanence.

Oh, it's Diwali.
Festival of lights.
Is it ?
Because I have seen dark streets,
Where she was being raped
but you were busy celebrating.
Festival of joy.
Is it ?
Because I have seen people mourning ,
Not because someone died ,
But because someone killed her soul.
Why is it not the festival of noises ?
It is.
Because I have heard the noises of crackers
while someone was screaming for help.
And I am sorry, for I couldn't help.
Ohhh! It's Diwali again.-
Dear scar,
You are so familiar,
You are really dear.
You are my strength
That hides my fear.
Mankind says you are ugly,
But for me, you are my beauty.
-
Alas! He was killed.
The assassin left notes behind.
"I quit" it read.-
If I were planet Earth ,
I would not tolerate your nuisance
and you might not survive to see me grow again.

If your passion is not able to conquer your hunger then you aren't passionate enough.
