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

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
