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

"Beast
I can be tasty" - I did not like this line, could have been better.
Also, I did not like the font. You cud have arranged the lines like a poem, which would look more catching to the eyes.

And about the poem, this is one of your best. Copyright it lest someone else takes this gem away.

Somehow I find that line unsuitable for this poem, it cud have been expressed in dif way maybe. Just an opinion and you might not agree, which is fine. :)

Otherwise the poem is beauty. :)

BTW, blog updated I.

And btw what wrong with your format..the words are all close together with no space...would've looked so poised in a proper poetry format.

Commotion

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

Dedication

Life seems to unfold When you think you have settled down And makes you stir in that comfy seat of yours As if telling you not to just yet Put your guard down And that frown Which finds its way through your face Might project a lot of disgust To life's amusement And bring about that little change you never would have welcomed Could this be a challenge ? Another "life's games" may be ? Or is it much more complex Rather simple in its terms To juggle ones fate In their own hands If you drop it You loose ! And if you don't Master is sure to find a way you do And even if you survive Life ain't gonna make this easy for you Why do we strive so hard So hard in this once in a lifetime ? Purely not indulging to our pleasures To counter react on our impulses Better off Less than Why is it so hard to believe we live And live not for one's sake but life's ? - Saswati Barat
