The game is not over!

The game is not over!

The game is not over

My opportunities are yet to uncover!

 

How can this be the end

When I do not know what is round the bend!

 

Let the game first finish

With victory on the dish!

 

How can I pack my bags and go

When what is at stake may forgo!

 

I still have work to do

Cannot enjoy and go!

 

Let there be claps midway

But I will go all the way!

 

Let the game come out in full glory

Let there be a success story!

 

I will not stop till the very end

I will travel every bend!

 

Let there be glory midway

For me it is all out all the way!

 

Why to stop halfway

And sleep midway!

 

The game is not over yet

This is what I bet!

I am on my own!

I am on my own!

I am on my own

No one does me own

Nor do I anyone own!

 

I still go my way

Where to go no one to say

But right here I shall not stay!

 

My star is up above

I aim for it like there is nothing above

I will strive to reach my star above!

 

No one to pat my back

When nothing do I lack

I will still follow and not look back!

 

In me is all I need

I just need to pay heed

And my fears do not feed!

 

When I look back from here

I see I waited for someone to cheer

Now I move ahead from here!

 

No matter how tough the weather

I will not depend on other

I will deal with it altogether!

 

My star calls out to me

To move towards it and really see

That I need independent to be!

 

I move on my way

Let whatever on my path lay

I will move on from day to day!

 

The one source I admit of mine

That makes me shine

Is the sincerity of mine!

 

I am on my way now

Do not ask how

Somehow somehow somehow!

I see a man

I see a man

I see a man

Who does all that he can!

 

I see a man who

Will not succumb if thrown at him is a shoe!

 

I see a man when

Troubles come laughs then!

 

I see a man how

He struggles but is never low!

 

Try to bring him down to dust                                                                

But he does all that he must!

 

Fires of trouble engulf him

He stands tall paying off his sin!

 

No matter who calls him names still

He has a powerful will!

 

I see a man bowing down

Not wishing to have a crown!

 

I see a man heavens have sent

Who at his job is bent!

 

Not knowing that he is one of a kind

He is a trouble shooter one can rarely find!

My so called friends!

My so called friends!

Waited for many an age

For friends so called to come of age                                                                     

But they did not that gave me rage!

 

Waited for their call

But I was ignored by all

After my mighty fall!

 

But still I walked my path ahead

Though it was tough keeping high my head

After friendship so called laid down dead!

 

It was tough

Nature outside within was rough

I did cry enough is enough!

 

But I walked down my path still

Following His will

Hoping this pain will go one day wait until!

 

Then one fine day

Got a call my so called friends did say

Let us meet if you may!

 

The Truth then stared at my face

That I was beyond the rat race

That I did not want to change my pace!

 

I had gone beyond my so called friends yet

I did not care anymore so called friendship I did not get

On my own path I was truly set!

 

I saw at the end of my dark tunnel the sun

And it was real fun

That I had outgrown my so called friends in one turn!

Religion

Religion

What makes a religion

That brings out a fight between two a nation!

 

What does a religion take

That following it does discrimination make!

 

Love, peace, brotherhood

Every religion should teach if they could!

 

Praying to the same Almighty

Why are differences in religions so plenty!

 

What is the need of religion thus

When all that it makes is a fuss!

 

Nature is one still

Do we really follow God’s will!

 

Seeing through biased eyes one

Divides our world which is just one!

 

Where did we lose our way

When so many religions have their say!

 

When the basic values of religion are same

Why to fight all the same!

 

God is one call Him by any name

The meaning is the same!

 

- Arunima Samant

We never give up

We never give up

Once upon a time

It was easy to be on cloud nine!

 

Then shadows of darkness began

And peace of mind ran!

 

The darkness touched many a corner

Who could face darkness and win a honour!

 

Fight, fight, fight was the key

Somehow do not give up even for a fee!

 

We never give up

We always stand up!

 

Those like us

Do not make a fuss!

 

Shadows try to disturb

We do not perturb!

 

Always fight till the end

Who knows what is round the bend!

 

We never give up because

We fight for our cause!

 

Raising our standards to the top

At nothing do we stop!

 

We never give up still

Let shadows do what they will!

 

Understand this for certain

We never give up till down is the curtain!

Imagination

Imagination

Imagination of a child

May be mild                     

Do not call it wild!

 

Imagination of a teen

May not be seen

Do not call it obscene!

 

Imagination of an adult

May be absurd yet

Do not call it occult!

 

Imagination is a divine quality

It requires subtlety

Gives a sense of surety!

 

Imagination is not wrong

When a singer sings his song

It helps us to come along!

 

Imagination is abused

By saying it should not be used

It may be misused!

 

Why to blame imagination

When it does not divide our world in every nation

Rather it brings about unison!

 

Do not give imagination a bad name

By naming it insane

It is the royal way to stay sane!

 

Imagination has in it a seed of truth

Do not call it untruth

It makes you one with your youth!

 

- Arunima Samant

Innocence

Innocence

Innocence is the key

Through which our world is to see!

 

Innocence is the medium

Through which the inner world will seem!

 

What is there in leading a false life

When within it cuts like a knife!                                         

 

What is there in innocence to shun

When it can save you from being burnt in the sun!

 

Why from innocence to run away

It will catch up to face you any which way!

 

Innocence is an asset

Your existence on it should be set!

 

Like a flower on a tree innocent unaware

From what should it scare!

 

Innocence should be striven for

It will side you on your path by far!

 

Why to live in the darkness of the night

When innocence can be your shining light!

 

- Arunima Samant

Sinister speak

Sinister speak

Sinister speak

With a smile cheek to cheek

Come along do not go wrong

Else who will sing your song.

 

Do not fall for the trap

Though they promise to fill your gap

You should be firm and correct

So that later you do not regret.

 

Sinister might put on an act

You should use tact

Do not blindly react

Rather promptly act.

 

Sweet poison is poison nonetheless

It is useless

Keeping you not at your best

But less.

 

Sinister should be destroyed from the root

Should be uproot

Nothing but proper

Will eventually matter.

O' my beautiful mind!

O’ my beautiful mind!

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

I put you to a grind

But you did not mind!

 

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

I crossed the line and made you unwell

And I went through hell!

 

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

I repented my folly

And you became jolly!

 

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

You help me stay sane

In this world so insane!

 

O’ my beautiful mind

One of a kind

I love you a lot

Though you are of a different sort!

 

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

You need freedom to express

And not be set by rules which depress!

 

O’ my beautiful mind

One of a kind

You need patience to perform

To come into one’s own!

 

O’my beautiful mind

One of a kind

You became sad

And I mad!

 

O’ my beautiful mind

One of a kind

Now that I know you

I am glad for true!

Money money money!

Money money money!

Long long time ago

Go back many years or so

There was peace on earth love and joy

A perfect place to be!

 

Then God thought,

”Hey this is just too neat!

All I need

 Is something that will make it incomplete!”

 

So God said,

 “Let there money be

Because no one will be spared

 Just see!”

 

Money will catch in its net

Everyone’s imagination like nothing yet!

Pursue it with all your might for stomach’s to feed

But money may also feed your greed!

 

Money will bring in the comforts of the outside world

But money will not bring in the bliss of the inside world!

Money will distract all on their paths in life

But for those who see through money what a life!

 

Money may then come and go

But one will not make a show!

Money when one dies does not follow

Then why for money one should sorrow!

 

- Arunima Samant

What really matters?

What really matters?

What really matters?

 

A peaceful mind?

Or worldly success one should find?

 

To be at one’s peak of health?

Or possess loads of wealth?

 

To find true love?

Or to be blessed from up above?

 

To gain knowledge?

Or in the world be acknowledge?

 

To do charity?

Or to use the best of one’s ability?

 

To surrender to fate?

Or to fulfil one’s desires before it is too late?

 

Whatever really matters in the end

Should leave one untouched even on the death bed!

 

- Arunima Samant

 

 

Our times on earth

Our times on earth

Times come and times go

We come and we go

Then why on earth we make such a show!

 

When we go what goes with us

On earth all our belongings remain thus

Then why on earth we make such a fuss!

 

Do we live on earth forever

From where we came and where to we go will we know ever

Then why do not we live such as now or never!

 

We fuss, we fight, catch each other’s neck

When we know not who will leave us in heck

Then why we do not live as in love neck to neck!

 

It is a misfortune these wars of terror

Are we humans not making an error

 Let lives flourish and blossom in endeavour!

 

Why this discrimination against female kind

They are really one of a kind

Discrimination of any sort will mind!

 

Should we not value our times on earth

Since we have to face death since our birth

Who knows really of rebirth!

 

Let us give our best as long as we live

Let us not fall for temptation and in sin live

Rather than taking it is better to give!
