A seed , A life and A Smile


I am a seed
Born to grow and die
Born to live by
Life's Smile
And through my eyes
I see the world in the littlest size
And you call me not as
Daring
As a mustache with a beard
Strong dependable muscles
Weird !
Of how this world might turn
To beasts
Than beauties ?
Agreed I am the ugliest
The most prettiest of all ugly
Mankind wants me to refresh
Soft water
Rose petals
Soft Supple Skin
Which always makes people
By far go wild
Hate and Contempt the
Very presence of the either
If the man reads the newspaper
God forbid the women might
Go out of their grasp
And tell me why
Such improper justice
Is meddled upon
Even among wives
Of the wealthy Babus
Don't be confused
Because life can
Be harsh
At times

A seed , A life and A Smile

ps : don't know if you will like it or not.. many might find it feminist in nature but it was not in the true sense, and again it is true, i had targeted the "sexually" dominated in the society

Amazing ..
Beautifully written..
We are like a seed get planted by fate, grow , provide shelter and fruits to others during our best times and then we die again, leaving several seeds behind to start again..

Keep Writing and Smiling :)

I like your free style of writing - Free Verse.
Good going.

Now for this line -''Agreed I am the ugliest
The most prettiest of all ugly
Mankind wants me to refresh '' -

you might want to revisit, as it doesn't suit in the entire poem evenly... Maybe certain adjustments to suit with the othr lines might be great!!

Overall, the poem is so very you , simple, free versed and delight to read..

However, the next one shd be even better.. :)

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
