The moment I hopped into d’ cab
we took off for the airport soon
the driver was in the proper lane,
my flight was at 2 in d’ afternoon
We moved toward our destination
with no hurry and no need to race
in front of us, a black car abruptly
jumped out of one parking space
My cab driver slammed on d’ brakes,
skidding & missing that car by inches!
d’ other guy whipped d' head around,
began yelling at us with foul language
Yet my poor chap gave a thin smile,
acted friendly and waved at d’ guy
before I could grasp his curious act,
we moved ahead, bid him a goodbye
How dare he do that? I retorted,
the guy almost smashed our car!
could have sent us to d’ hospital
or maybe to the heavenly abode
Certain species exist in our society,
who run around with all filthy stuff
carrying their frustrations and anger,
have disappointments, seem rough
As their wasteful rubbish piles up,
they need somewhere to dump it
woefully they might dump it on u,
why take it personally, why fight?
Why unwillingly accept the garbage,
take it on our shoulders, spread it?
on the peace-loving people at work,
innocent souls at home/on d' streets
D’ wise don’t let d’ garbage trucks
casually take over their nice day
why lose your mental peace and
invite irrelevant negativity to stay
Just smile, wave, and wish them well,
never get surprised or go into shock
take it casually; things often happen,
that's the Law of the Garbage Truck
While
addressing a trade meeting,
d'
director asked d' skilled audience
Where
is d' richest land in d' world?
reply,
putting in your common sense
One
from the assembly answered,
It
ought to be the oil-rich Gulf states
No,
it's d' Diamond mines in Africa,
another guy added with confidence
Millions
of barrels, Saudi Arab ships,
world's
consistently top oil exporter
spawns
wealth, impacts d' economy,
their
land, d' richest, what's so over
The
world's largest diamond mine,
"D
Big Hole", visible from the space
South
Africa's bumper jewel fields,
boast being way ahead in the race
No
oil-wells, nor the diamond mines,
only a common customary cemetery
at 1st glance a routine burial ground,
but incredibly rich, toss out all theory
Then d' director assured emphatically,
it might be a matter of understanding
of
course, an affluent land in d' world,
if
one duly analyzes and deeply thinks
Millions have departed from d' Earth,
carried valuable ideas in their mind
it never came to light nor benefited,
any
individual or whole of mankind
All
those with their precious minds,
were
inhumed in those cemeteries
d'
fertile brains did d' soil ultra-rich,
worthy
for d' last so many centuries
D'
genius to be genuinely motivated,
to
pour out their ideas, the potential
to
turn into things useful for society,
before
it's late and taken for a burial
Not
go to the grave and carry within,
all
d' talent, all d' best, they possess
needn't
be grabby, achieved enough,
die
empty of all d' atoms of goodness
Think
of the subsequent generations,
d'
developing kids in the community
they
must love, share, and distribute,
to
turn them useful, their crucial duty
As
any colorful idea brews inside you,
grant
its flavor to percolate in the city
the
humanity has d' right to rejoice it,
one
must always choose to die empty
Portrayed her own pitiful situation,
before
a tragic death a few days ago
fashion
blogger Kyr Zayda Rodriguez,
revealed in a way, with d' least ego
Her
patterns of the outfits, amazing,
discrete
from the other designers
in
quality and the style of the cloth
it's
tough to get a matching merger
People
felt special in those attires
praised
d' hard work and patience
her
work new and unique, adored,
can
find no one in her equivalence
Suffering
from a horrifying disease,
she forthwith
bravely announced it
but
boasted about being d' owner of
the
virgin Sedan parked on d' street
d'
famed fashion designer narrated,
her
advanced stage IV gastric cancer
my
costliest car, it looks so majestic,
can't
do even a little bit for its master
Wardrobes full of designer dresses,
can
no way help, hanging helplessly
countless
startling shoes in d' racks,
solve
no purpose, now seem so silly
Her red-carpet walks were all futile,
also,
the notable proud felicitations
no.
of designer bags idle in d' selves
futile,
though garnished in diamond,
D' golden bangles with gemstones,
left
in d' lockers are of no use at all
lavish
watches put on varied events,
lay
in boxes, unable to save my soul
Now
d' time is of no meaning to me,
no
earthly assets can do anything
d'
furnished house looks lusterless
no
possession carries any meaning
lying down in a twin-size Hosp. bed
sporadically
someone pays a visit,
deserted
by all, family and friends
Can
hire a plane any day of d' week
to
any corner of the world if I wish
can
have any palatable food items,
any
seldom available delicious dish
Never
let anyone make me feel bad
that
I do not possess a damn thing
if
others can acquire and cherish it,
I
can also have it's not challenging
But
those can't do anything for me,
to
my rescue come forward, no stuff
now
I realize, be happy with d' little,
if a roof overhead there, it's enough
Amenities
are there /not who cares,
in
life, love is ever d' most vital thing
be
d' near dear ones or an unknown
hardly
matters, love d' human beings
Enjoy
d' moments with d' ones u love,
never
give up on them any moment
they
won't be there, always with you
by
d' time you realize, need them back
Might
have gone to a distant world,
and
even if you set foot there later
won't
be able to trace them
power,
ego, ability, of no help,
all
to melt, evaporate and disappear
Only
for 5 min. span after d' birth,
a
scope to enjoy the real freedom
a
naked nameless baby, free to cry
with
no sins, without any direction
Grant
me d' same liberal freedom
further
for d' entire period, lifelong
why
lock me up in the unlit prison
of
nationality, caste, and religion
Chosen
a name as per d' birth star,
tried
out to soothe d' ears, decided
d'
first, d' middle name too to match,
spell
it loud, if it feels good, satisfied
Scores
of names, how to settle one,
further
tough to pick up a nickname
toiled
to elect and tried a few tricks,
the
ultimate push was to flip a coin
Born
1000s of feet above d' ground
beyond
the borders of any nation
Mom
went into labor in an aircraft
over
a water body, d' Pacific Ocean
About
d' nationality, my citizenship,
rules
discussed, a lot of confusion
a
hot topic, d' commuters debated,
a sky-baby title sits fit in d' situation
Airlines
did publicity stunts, issued
free
flight travel pass for a lifetime
inspired
pregnant ladies can board
the
flights, fully safe in their airlines
A
baby gets d' religion of his father,
later to follow or quit as he decides
d'
difference between fact and faith
let
him appreciate, then take a side
Doesn't like to get caged, tortured,
unable
to jump d' untoward barriers
cares
for morals and ethics, not the
dogma
of caste, religion, ancestors
Trust
in God's might and authority,
parent's
citizenship wants to ignore
to
live as an unknown human being
relish
d' freedom as had
in
d' first 5 min. of postnatal period
