Humanity

Can this humanity
claim
that it has drawn out
the best of its manners
can it say
it has been fair
to the world around
How can the world feel
so disoriented
Opposinf its own preaching
how can one call this
Humanity
Humane ??
Pretence is the mask taught
taught to be glued
and never taken apart
lest someone catches you
and shatter the existence of humanity
in mere dust
greed
hypocricy
and what not
is made this
humanity
so inhuman to tolerate

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

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
