Little-minded Folks
In the larger world, greater
Men are sempiternally stirred to greater
Challenges by the whirlpool of change.
But little-minded folks never cease to amaze me.
With feeble hearts tossed about by every ill wind,
They flutter to mindless frivolities
In their immediate milieu
And engage in fierce battles
Against shadows
Cast in the darkling recesses
Of their bemused minds.
Within international boundaries
Little-minded folks engage in a battle of colour.
Within national boundaries
They engage in a battle of tribe and religion.
Within state boundaries
They engage in a battle of community.
Within community boundaries
They engage in a battle of family.
And within family boundaries
They kill their own brother for nothing.
Welcome to Postpoems
Welcome to Postpoems
You ar, I hope, as nice as your depicted pic.
Wondrous eyes frisky soul
Looking around with awe and surprise
Making new discoveries everyday
Always happy,happy and happy
Never for a moment silent or lazy
except when asleep
No need of booze or pills or high
He's high on curiousity
Welcome once again

TO MY FRIEND BISHU
“Always happy, happy and happy”
Received with gratitude
The warmth your welcome bears.
May be not as much as I’d wish
When you say “always happy”,
And a little booze here or there
At times may not be a bad idea.
But the ability to cherish and to love,
To bear one-another and forgive;
I think, must be the ultimate pill.
So I’m always high on curiosity:
Why this evades humanity?
How do we make this discovery?
That love and forgiveness
Hold our universe in place
And steady the aged fingers of God.
Why do we pick guns instead of roses?
Why do we create bombs instead of bonds?
Why do we say stupid instead of sorry?
Why do we fight for “God”
When we scarcely know Him?
All the same, thanks, my good friend, Bishu.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
