I can & I'll

Easy to give up smoking!,

attempted, many a times

In spite of damn serious,

to quit, took several years

It’s nearing two decades,

since last puff, I enjoyed

Sternly made up my mind,

turned utterly determined

 

Called my domestic help,
passed over d' cigar packs,
from  draws, from d’ racks

“Dump them all, in d’ drain

no queries, desired again”

He noted my fickle notion,

Silently carried all d’ stock,
 stored covertly d' entire lot
 Dare not dispose right away
 guessed, I'll ask, d' next day
 I adopted an ardent resolve
 no smoke resume, it's solved
  Rigid will power, firm decision,
  to tide over the stiff situation
 D’ maniac craze, craving gone,

an instant stop to habituation,

No counseling for de-addiction,

my determination, a mile stone

 

Determined guys, never recede,

any odd stretch, try to proceed

Tea making, to tree planting,

poem composing to paragliding

No hurdles can break d' rhythm,

no barriers, hinder momentum

Match a housewife, even a maid

task swiftly done, faster than said

Inner potentials absolutely strong,

no wait, outcome right or wrong

Till job accomplished,even no wink,

behave stubborn, refuse to sink

 

Life a path, with crevices, cracks,

drop to a crack, drags to foot path

Steadfast ones get up, carry on,

attitude firm, reach destination

Wish to achieve, unfogs d' way,

solitary silhouette lopes away

Perseverance makes difference,

tunes up all apparent cadence

No blame game, beget situation,

move ahead, with firm intention

Only defeat, not a final defeat,

lone flaw, no flaw, might repeat

Ambient challenges, aptly taken,

coveted ending ought to happen

I can do, evidently I will,

any tough task up d' hill!

                   

Diary of a dead dog

 

  
A hapless dusk, I was born,

a quadruplet, of my mom

Most cute of my brethren,

picked up by a trade tycoon

Lavishly reared, got grown,

to securely guard his home

 

One carried to a poultry farm,

to sentinel the chicks & hen

Chase intruding fox & jackal

hunting mice, snakes,to tackle

Third made pet of college kid,

scope to devour lavish food

Move around in Toyota car,

crony for tavern, inn and bar

A creature pitiable entire life

rely on humans, for a thrive,

I chose to stay with my mom,

life perilous,yet ample freedom

But soon turned a hunky dory,

to witness,mom's tragic story

For forage, entered a kitchen,

badly beaten, hip bone broken

Dragged d’ body, seeking food

endured  malady, till she could

Illness crippled, life got doused,

to avenge her demise, I vowed

Discerned d’ one who beat her

to deal with d’ cruel  creature

I grew as a stray street dog,

round my neck, no identity tag

 Life's motto,to settle d’ score
restraint lost, wait no more

Once availed d’ opportunity

while back home,from duty

Grasped him with, all might

 pierced entire canine teeth

To depth of his fleshy thigh,

toiled, yelled, a frantic cry!

Utmost effort he had made

from my grip, a tough escapade

Stray dog menace, highlighted

Municipality incessantly intimated

Schedule set for stray dog trace

chasers hunt with stout forceps

 caught by neck, in a long race

tried all tricks, failed to escape

put in a van, with other brethren

Taken far, to unknown location

in my thigh,thrust an injection

A prolong yawn, vacant look to sky

 an undue nap, no more arousal,why!

Life matters little, extinct so soon

Animal lovers’ lips, never ever open

If ensues a startling situation,

to save only one ,d’ tough option

In a sinking ship, whom to prefer

to ponder of two living creature

a bright pup or a retarded babe

each life dear, whom to save

brutality to souls, a deed of sin

 my last sleep, a final awakening!
