When Do I Close My Eyes?

When do I close my eyes?
Is it when I see someone
running on the streets
taking advantage of others?

When do I close my eyes?
Is it when I see families
fighting with each other
over a non-sense matter?

Do I need to close my eyes
whenever I see a public servant
unscrupulously performing
his duty to benefit himself?

When do I close my eyes?
Is it when I see someone
begging in the street who
chooses not to flex his muscles?

When parents abuse their children.
When I see people pretending.
When I see the richer enriching
themselves at the expense of the poorer.

When everything appears to be falling apart.
Do I need to close my eyes or
just pretend that I do not see
the depressing occurrence around me?

Happy Life

Music to the ears, the sweet words to hear

Saying “I wanna grow old with you”

How to fulfill, could it be true

So easy to speak, yet, not easy to do

A thorny road, a windy path

A narrow-mind, a jealous heart

Petty quarrels sometimes the start

Words are easy but deeds are faint

Not as easy as the dream you paint

When the mouth speaks, actions should present

Love is the key and not some luck

But others say you must have pluck

For love vanishes once hardships struck

It’s not her or him to adjust with you

But the other way around and should be you

It’s not a hoax but a factual view

For if both of you have the same thought

And the complex life you have fought

Not only one will benefit but both

Happy life commence not with I love you

Neither completes with I love you too

Giving and giving in is the right way to do

Father

Days, months and years have passed

But it’s only now that I’ve realized

When it’s my time to be like you

A man, a parent and a father too

The things that then you’re doing for us

Quite vague that my young mind can’t grasp

You seldom speak of what’s on your mind

But when you do, there’s so much sense behind

You seldom scold us or lift your hand too

And we quiver whenever you do

You’re not so sweet but a great provider

With that, we know you loved us so dear

We may not have everything we want

But there’s contentment with what you grant

For whatever material aspects that we lack

Emotionally, we have so much luck

In this world, no man can be so perfect

But for us, you’re so great in every aspect

Father, in our hearts you’re always the best

And for us, you exceeded among the rest
