Paths

Paths I have taken in time long gone,
Paths of mine have brought knowledge of their own.

Will this journey finish before I end,
Will I get what is my aim & ends.

Bringing seclusion these paths to me have,
Bringing serenity these to me also have.

Sometime they bring unfathomable happiness,
Sometime they bring unfathomable sadness.

Seen the other paths that I not took I have,
Seen the other people on these paths I have.

Made me knowledgeable they have,
Made me ignorant they also have.

O Paths ! Am I nearing your end ,
O Paths ! Satisfied will you till my end?

O Creator ! Let me be firm on these paths,
O Creator ! Let me succeed on these paths.

To whom should I pass my gains,
To whom should I pass my pains.

Note: I have said paths not path as one take many at one time not one.

This or part of this should not be reproduced without acknowledgement that it had been created by Luke Skywalker of IBF & permission from me. It might have taken 30 minutes to create but I have to pass that emotional state which gave me inspiration to write it. You might not like how I have reached that state. It is too easy to steal other works as your own but when it happens to you , you will know how it feels. I will even sue you for that.

My fourth poem at IBF


Confrontations & Realisations of Mine

Confronted by questions once I was,
Why should I speak the truth?
Why should be honest?
Why should I fight for justice?
Why should be an altruist?

Confronted I always have been by questions,
Why should I have ethics?
What is the harm in not having them?
What is there to gain by them?
Why should I follow the paths of adversity?

Decided that follow the company of my fellows unquestioningly,
But one day while observing nature's creations,
I started to feels their glory and sacrifice,
Saw I sun ending its life to give light,
Sky at unattainable heights.

Struck by realisation I was that day,
Matched I have to not my fellows but sun and sky,
Human glory have come & gone but it had survived.
If my visions have to survived myself,
then prepared my self like all visionary to sacrifice.

My third poem at IBF:

Man losing his way:

One day walking under the sun,
My eyes turn towards the sky.
Realise I what observe I don't before,
Saw sky and land without horizon.

Turn my head from corner to corner ,
But successful in seeing a bird I was not.
Where had the birds gone?
Had sky of angels left our land?

Everywhere I saw a jungle,
A jungle which I had not noticed before.
Perhaps more selfish turn I have,
Realize that angels don't come to selfish.

Why had humans broken their bond with nature?
Why had he turn from beautiful angels?
Tell me when he started to lose his way?
Since when he lost his altruism better than angels?

My sixth poem at IBF:
Define Freedom No One Can

Define freedom no soul ever can,
Exists it,
When without fear opine which hurt none can,
When equality exists in not some places but all ,
When provided same opportunity is for all.

Define freedom no soul ever can,
Exists it,
When no dividing factors exist can.
Like color , race , caste , gender ,religion,
Like creed , sect , birth , disease , region.

Define freedom no soul ever can,
Freedom humanity can attain fully never can.
Struggling for freedom is sign of humanity itself,
Your freedom will be achieve by your own self.

Define freedom no soul ever can,
Involve changing perception it can.
When you look on somebody define him human,
When making rights believe everyone is human.
