Legend




Man says that legend is in himself
Man says that legend is HIM
But what does legend say ?
Was it really the man himself or was it something different?

Things in life don't turn out well
One blames ones destiny
Fate laughs
But one cries
Justice you might not like to call it.

Having grudges against someone you love is permitted
May not be in the society which wraps you every night
But yes in your heart
That beats tirelessly everyday for you
For you who lives on
and creates a LEGEND for himself

I wonder how they live
They
Whose hearts stop beating for them every night
And beat for the ones opposite to them
Inside them
How can you think that they belong to you
Mind-Body games
Lust
I salute them
But is it really the destiny they follow
It can be a matter of choice
Or in most may be
Force
Force of the legend behind them
Who have told them this is what you are
What you can
And What you will

Let me laugh
Who is going to watch me ?
Utter disgustingly
Shame
Fear
Forget them
Because legend says to do so
And you will do so
May be in the end

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat

Smile

Smile And the world shall laugh at your face Cry And the world shall laugh at your face Run And the world might still be laughing at your face How synthetic this emotions seem When a girl cries or smiles Or runs with joy or fear Here and There And everywhere When Death is so near Let alone this world feel ashamed Of her chastity might proclaim And if she is not to be true Honor killing will do To save our names and bonds And the status we built upon The walls so high To not let her fly And chain her down With red bangles Fly my friend And let the world know You are free Free to be Me - Saswati Barat
