If I can

If I can fly,

I will take you to the highest peak

So you would see what’s on the ground

For I know you heard the whimpers

But you never seek where it’s coming from

If I can slip back,

I will take you to a place in the past

Where people lived in harmony

For I know that peace is what you seek

But never tried to put it into effect

If I can walk on the water,

I will carry you on my shoulder

We’ll watch the dwindling species of fish

For I know that you want it to flourish

But your commerce could be in menace

If I can time travel,   

I will take you with me to the future

To build a cleaner and greener environment

For I know that you loved nature

But you only watch it being ruined

If I can . . . only if I can

But all is just a whisper, or

Perhaps a song of a dreamer

For like you I’m a hopeless crusader

A fantasist with so much fear

Words

The words we speak

Are the words we learn

From yesterday

Or when our life begins

A word so easy

Or a complex term

At home

We start to crawl

Then our first step

And the first word we speak

It makes our parents glad

We laugh and they laugh

And the first word we repeat

I was in a train

When I read a poem

A parent teaching a child

The words in life 

Some are easy

And some are tough

The words we heard

Are the words we use

And even sing

From childhood

Until our knees weaken

Words that make us grow

Or can bring us down

When we forget to use it right

For success gobbles our wisdom

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?
