Blessed I am,
Am son of God
I must love life!
Like a flash of light,
Like a ray from height,
I vow-
In name of God
I will be a healer!
I begin my journey
To live my words.
I try discovering
What makes a healer?
I read books, read literatures
Read myths, read scriptures.
I attend schools, attend meetings
Attend churches, attend gatherings.
I speak to
Wounded and killer,
Saint and sinner,
Healer and sufferer.
Am not content!
Am restless and sleepless.
I sweat, I puff
I dream, I laugh.
Asking what makes a healer?
Here is
An old on street!
Rotting from head to feet
Stinking and oozing
Writhing and wheezing.
I asked him-
Sir, what you
Want in a healer?
He writhed, he wheezed
He coughed, he ached.
He paused, he stammered.
But he continued-
You wanna be a healer!
In contempt, he chuckled
And asked-
Do you love life?
I said-
Yes.
He lamented-
You haven’t touched me yet!
He continued-
Healer is one who
Loves me and touches me
And brings me to life
In its entirety!
I carried him to hospital.
And cared him day and night
Ignoring fear and flight.
I have to love life
And touch life.
When I loose touch
I loose life.
Then on-
I love life. touch life
Keep loving and keep touching.
I don’t let it loose
In despair, in danger
In dark and in anger.
I don’t differ
Saint or a sinner
Wealthy or a beggar
I don’t differ
Black or white
Meager or might
To me you are
A sacred life in pain
And I must forget
My worldly gain.
Blessed I am,
Am son of God
I must love life!

One and Oneness
Am in street.
You all look so different-
Black, white
Small, large
Elegant and humble.
Then I start fly high-
Am atop Eiffel Tower.
I only see, you all have
One head,
Two hands
And two legs.
I can’t separate you!
Am on moon.
The whole earth looks so same-
Just couple of black shades.
But that makes it so beautiful!
Am over galaxy,
I feel only emptiness.
No pride of man,
No pride of ET.
Everything and everybody
Is so insignificant and nothing!
Oneness is creation.
Differences there to
Make it beautiful.
Realization of Emptiness
Is Incarnation
The ultimate truth!
Pride and arrogance
All lies, all illusions,
A folly of human mind!
Who are we to
Make differences,
When creation is
One?

Are You Right, Mum?
I learnt
Life’s lessons
In my mum’s womb!
My mum was
A Merry!
In womb, I heard her saying
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
Like other country girl,
My mum-
Never went school,
Never read books.
But she learnt Ramayana,
She learnt Mahabharata.
And she assimilated
Hard reality by experience!
Her reality more
Unreal than fiction!
My dad, a drunk,
Impulsive and unkind,
Would beat my mum brutally.
In his life, he knew only
To create bipod lives!
I learnt reality
In my mum’s womb.
I was hurt, even before
I entered this world.
I learnt self-protection
In my mum’s womb.
When my dad would beat my mum
I would turn my back
To his furious fists.
To protect me
And my mum.
Life was a joke to me!
When I was two,
One day-
While giving another birth
My mum died!
Her blood less, feeble body
Did not tolerate
Torrential bleeding.
Did I feel anything then?
My newborn sister
Died soon.
I did not see her face!
We were ten.
Six sisters and four brothers!
My dad never learnt anything.
She got married again
To help our misery!
At least he claimed so.
Our misery doubled up.
We all learnt
Scarcity and poverty
Were the only truth
In our lives!
We ate, when we were lucky.
We starved other times!
My dad didn’t stop.
More he felt helpless
More he went reckless.
He searched peace
In his madness!
Insanity a panacea!
Then another day-
Cyclone took our roof.
We were at mercy
Of whimsical nature.
I wished, cyclone took me too.
I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
Cholera took my three sisters,
Malaria took my two brothers.
I wished, I was dead too!
But I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
In school
I was beaten and bullied
While working
As a child-
I was beaten and bullied.
I wished, I was dead!
But I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
After school
I went to college.
They hated me,
They insulted me.
They found me odd for-
I did not appear like them,
I didn’t speak like them.
They made my life hell.
But I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
To feed me and my family
I joined Army.
I went to war.
I fought but
I didn’t know for what!
I was caught as
Prisoner of War.
They burnt my face,
They broke my bones,
They throttled my throat!
I wished, I was dead.
But I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
Burnt and disfigured
Tortured and tired,
I was dumped.
After five years,
I came back to my unit.
But they disowned me
They insulted me.
Saying I was dead
In their book!
I wished, I was really dead!
But I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
Living as dead,
I came back to my home.
My home was gone.
My dad was dead,
My sisters fled,
My brothers disappeared!
Emptiness pained me.
I kneeled, picked up soils
Smelt them.
I still smelt my mum,
My dad, my sisters
And my brothers!
I remembered my mum
Saying-
In pain, I pray peace
In torture, I pray tranquillity
In suffering, I pray serenity!
Dejected, defeated
Disowned and dead,
I questioned my mum
For first time in my life-
"Are you right, mum?"
From starry sky
My mum smiled.
I saw the cloud
Covered the sky
And flooded the earth.
But soon
The cloud passed and
The stars started smiling
Again!

Feed Me to Hungry Dogs!
Feed me to
Hungry Dogs!
I don't want
A hungry world!!
I don't wanna see
Sunken eyes,
Skinny shins,
And brittle bones.
I don't wanna see
Cholera, kalazar,
TB, AIDS,
And death, disability.
I wanna see-
A world of
Love and care,
Riches and Share.
I wanna see-
Smiling baby,
Of a happy mother,
And a proud father.
Until I see so
Am ready.
Feed me to
Hungry dogs!

Journey To Realization!
Your-
Smiling face,
Stunning stance,
And glistening gaze
Ignited fire in me.
Am restless, sleepless.
My ear rings
And vision doubles.
My taste bitters
And smell perverts.
I feel tickles All over.
Who are you?
Am not stopping
Before I know you.
I search you
In sky and sea
In land and everywhere.
Fantasizing you-
Smell as jasmine
And look as lotus.
you feel as rose
And buzz as bell.
I Forget my
Torment and torture,
Sleep and sickness.
I know you at last!
You-
A piece of Flesh
Stained Blood.
An ugly mind
Cause destruction!
My delusion disappears!
I choose fantasy
Over you!
I forgive you.
For-
Life such an illusion!

Resurrection!
Fire, fire, fire!
Fire in their breath,
Fire in their eyes,
Fire in their hands!
They play fire,
They speak fire,
They dream fire!
They-
Burnt babies,
Burnt Bible,
And Buddha!
All burnt,
All dead,
And all gone!
But a light!
A monk in saffron
Chants hymn and
Holds Globe high!
Devils’ laughters fade,
They flee,
They die!
Again-
Sun shines
And sky smiles!
Breeze blows
And cuckoos sing!
Cloud rains
And bees hum!
Again-
Ringing in ears
Dharmang Sharanang Gachhami!
Flying in sky- Doves free!
Floating in air-
Flower’s fragrance!
Life's cycle keeps
Spinning!

The Thief
Emptiness
Then a burning!
He lies prone
On muddy floor.
Two long days-
No food, little water!
Little Lindu
Knows not
Why such sufferings!
He begs again
Mum, food!
I die!
Bastard! greedy!
Step mother shouts.
She slaps him Mercilessly.
Hunger drives him.
He begs-
Door to door.
Neighbours shout
Ravenous! beggar!
Get out! He gets out.
It's noon,
As sun burns
He burns more
In hungriness.
This bakery
Now closed,
None nearby,
He peeps
Through window.
He pushes,
Window opens.
His eyes shine,
Breads! Plenty of them!
He climbs wall Plunges himself
Through old window.
Window breaks Making noise!
Thief! thief!
Old man shouts.
Crowds come running,
They punch him,
They kick him Furiously!
Thief! Dacoit! Son of a bitch!
They beat him.
He cries not,
He pleads not,
They calm down.
He whimpers, Tear flows.
Unable to move,
He begs again.
God! Food!
He shudders
Then stops still.
Crowds stop,
Water his mouth!
Death proves
His innocence!
Then a burning!
He lies prone
On muddy floor.
Two long days-
No food, little water!
Little Lindu
Knows not
Why such sufferings!
He begs again
Mum, food!
I die!

Murderer of My Mother!
Where did you go, mamma?
When my mamma
Feeding me I saw smoke.
Bomb, bang and blasts!
Rockets, rubbles and holocaust!
I fainted!
Smokes disappeared
Leaving a smell Of destruction!
Am sore,
My legs broken
Eyes swollen.
Mamma!
Where did you go, mamma!
Spoon charred,
Plate fragmented.
A disfigured hand Without body,
Charred unto elbow-
Still held my hand.
I tried moving
Am sore everywhere.
I tried again, crawled-
Where did you go mamma?
I shook my hand
The black charred hand
Fell far.
Where did you go, mamma?
Am frightened!
My heart ached.
I whimpered!
Where did you go, mamma?
Something still shinning
In that black charred hand!
I lifted, saw the bangle.
Mamma! I whimpered,
I cried!
Mamma, don’t leave me alone
Am frightened!
Tear flowing,
While the bangle glowing!
Where did you go, mamma?
When my mamma
Feeding me I saw smoke.
Bomb, bang and blasts!
Rockets, rubbles and holocaust!

Give Peace A Chance!
Unborn baby, cries in mother’s womb
"Hurt me not, let me live in peace".
This world's a bloody field,
Civilization regressing to savagery.
Inequality prevails!
Brain budding, hurting the heart.
Intelligence kills love
Science forgets nature.
We are psycho,
Create millions of Frankenstein.
Shed not blood
Give peace a chance!
Terrorism or Extremism,
Money or muscle!
Condemn all and cry
Give peace a chance!
Recreate this world
Once again-
Of love and compassion!
Of empathy and tolerance.
We the son of God
Are all brothers.
We the son of God
Breathe same air.
Please hurt not the baby
Let him live in peace!
"Hurt me not, let me live in peace".

Call for One Religion!
They are three, dead
Enemy’s bullet
Pierced their heart.
With fanatic's eyes
I search-
Their racial identity.
I can not
Who can?
I challenge you all.
We say-
Ram, Rahim and Robin they are.
Hindu, Muslim and Christian.
We divide them
On race and religion
On cast and creed.
Our vested interest,
Our wickedness,
Creating differences.
Imperialism and fundamentalism
Kill brothers and sisters,
Undermining humanity.
Superior we are
Compared to beast.
More beast we are in our deed.
God, grow our sense.
So we evolve truly
From beast to humane.
If we have same
Blood and bone
And breathe same air-
Then why we are
Not one and only one
Human Being?
Enough is enough!
No more blood
No more violence!
Cry all
We've one religion
Human religion.

It's Time To Spread Love and Keep Faith!
Threatened is the humanity
For nuclear and star war.
Threatened is the humanity
For terrorism and imperialism.
Creation cries help for-
Typhoon, tornado
Cyclone and tsunami.
Dragon, drought
Cruelty and calamity.
Creation cries help for-
Malnutrition, mortality
Poverty and famine.
Malformed baby, limbless child
Arsenic and land mine.
Creation cries help for-
Depression, anger
Suicide and murder.
Black, beast
Darkness and danger.
Enemy outside, enemy within.
