My Existence
Is it gravity
Or the weight of existence
That brings your knees
Closer to the scorching earth
This sinking feeling
More literal than symbolic
A voice
Thick with emotion
Whispers
Freedom is just a stones throw away
As if this boulder can be thrown
If a rumbling occurs
And an army of mismanaged people flatten this land
Would we be free?
Adopting the mentality of your masters
feels eerily close to bondage
Then again
We've rummaged through strategies
And felt the burn of arrogance against our open palms
The pain,
enough to turn the softests
Into hardened fists.
My own tighten as I return to the word master
Another form of other
Maybe diluted over time
The message is written with the same delicate penmanship
A ship has sailed
With that word strapped to the bottome deck
Never to be uttered unless between these lines
Still it's inescapable.

Sodium Lamps
Vapour burns and lights the streets
Golden glow surrounds me
This cloudy night gets eerily quiet and watches
As the darkness drowns me!
I remember the yellow sublime.
I remember how it followed me home one night.
It tried to warm me up to my core then,
But the yellow sublime quit tonight!
And the Silence floods my ears,
Or gags my mouth, muffles my scream!
Pushes me over the edge of my roof,
Drops me in a distant dream!
Burning vapour lights the way
To a new and unknown place!
Here I stand at the finish line,
Of the never ending race!

समझ
एक उम्र गुज़र ने के बाद
एक समय ऐसा आता है
जब लोग सामने वाले को समझें गें
लेकिन समझाएंगें नहीं
इसके दो कारण हैं,,,,,
कहीं उसे बुरा ना लग जाएं
और दूसरा कहीं वह हम से आगे न निकल जाए।।।।।

Destiny
To believe in life's design,
as a predetermined course,
only tends to make one wonder,
are we mere race horses in a loop.

Battle field is ready
palyers equipped
stakes are high,
life's on line
its a race of existence
one's behind
other is a head of time,
blood pools,
breath is running
pressure is building
fates high
risk towering
who would win
thats the whole point?

Faith
I thought it would be straightforward
A simple path from start to finish
Yet as I walked, I found myself constantly wayward
I would stray to and fro
Forget where and why
Stop and stare
All I want is to finish the race
This world constantly leads me astray
Then I would be reminded
It’s one foot after the other
And always keep your eyes on the prize

When you just want to lay down and not wake up at all, but still you wake up each day to go to office. No matter how much you want to do something else or just have rest. The race of life doesn't stops ever so you also don't stop and go on with it to match it's speed.

Read MoreHonk! Honk!
Oh how I hate this incessant noise.
Driving down a highway,
Wind ruffling my hair
I take a peek at the rearview mirror -
A truck racing down
To catch up with
Me and my clunker,
My backseat thoughts,
Wounds stashed away in the trunk.
Honk! Honk!
Engine throttling,
Memories crushing
I put my foot on the gas pedal.

Finding the meaning of life,
Saying a worth lie,
Accepting the fact that it happened,
Taking a stroll of a road rotten,
Remembering why this all started at a first place,
Thinking always is it a worth race?

Please Don't Quit!
The day will come, sooner or later.
It will happen one day,
That we'll choose to look beyond
The religion, the cast,
The nationality, the gender
The race, and everything else.
You'll see.
It will happen one day, Dear Humanity,
That we will stop failing you,
That we will choose you,
Above everything else.
You'll see.
Till that time,
Please don't quit on us.

Tired of the race,
Can't keep with the pace,
Trying hard to get what I cannot keep,
Chasing the wind, from a mountain so steep.
Take me to where I belong
Before too long.

Brown
I am of working class Irish American stock. I have always lived in urban neighborhoods that were mixed among pale and beige but rarely brown. We were poor but tried our best to be less crude. There were only two occasions when the brown would visit my mostly pale address. The first occasion was on weekend mornings as evangelizing Jehovahs Witnesses who were saving souls while selling the Watchtower. Well dressed and well intentioned but uninvited and unwelcome.
Rarely if ever does anything good ever visit at the front door on a weekend morning.
The other occasions was on Halloween nights with kids trick or treating. I always loved the mixing of color when candy was distributed to costumed children. I cannot say that I feel the same with regards to the visiting religious cult. It has little to do with color and is more about context. Sadly we had few people of any colors visit tonight, neither for candy or proselytizing.

Samajh Aae Toh Samjhana...
Kuch chize na samjh se bhut upper....
Or practicality se bhut bhar hoti hai.....
Bas shayad voi chize hai jo hume kahi na kahi ek dusre se jode rakhti hai...
Pta hai dosti , pyaar sabko hota hai or sabke sath hota or shayad sabse difficult bhi yhi hota hai.....par jab hota hai na toh jo uss moment ke lie sirf ek second ke lie jo pride wali , top of the world wali feeling aati hai na.....kahi na kahi hum is zindagi ki race mein sirf ek uss pal ke lie hi bhaag rahe hote hai...par bhaagte bhaagte hum ye bhul jate hai ki hume rukna kha tha.....ab zindagi m U - turn ka option toh hai ni toh ek station nikal jane ke baad hume agle par hi rukne ka moka milega or hum ye soch kar aage badh jate hai ki agla station isse bhi jada khubsurat or sukoon bhara hoga...par hota toh kuch or hi hai na hum aage ke sawalo ki chah mein peeche mile un jawaabo ko bhul jate hai....jo ki hume kahi na kahi humari hi asliyat bata rahe hote hai....par ab kyaa fayda hum bhaagne mein itne majboor hote hai ki raste mein khud hi khudse kyun na mil jaee....par hum fir bhi khud ko kuchal ke aage badh jate hai....

How Athletes wins in their Race?
Athletes wins the race by his mental strength, physical strength is resultant of their mental strength, it's like car move forward by invisible energy generated from engine, likewise we as a human should have stronger mindset to achieve anything in life. Have a nice day

What if color was a meaningless word?
With people blind to see
Would race still make a difference
For you and for me?
Being born with out a sense
Pretty despicable honestly
Color shouldn't make a difference
To you or to me
Look at the colors of the rainbow
Im complimenting harmony
Nature deciphers no difference
For you and for me
Color should be a meaningless word
With Racism a mystery
It's sad that it makes a difference
To you or to me

#mar9iech #margiech #mirakee @mirakee #poem #poems #poetry #readwriteunite @readwriteunite #love #poetry #writersnetwork @writersnetworkShame, the shackles
heavy on the ankles
Guilt, the gasoline
fuelin' in between
It's a race you're losing
for time's forever a foe
who stops for nothing
No rewind or pause
You, alone, must flee
non baggage-free
You run until you're numb
from the person you've become
It's a one-way adventure
caught in a motion
Deep seas and desert land
Will one ever understand:
that grief is an anchor
and tears are an ocean?
