Looking beyond tomorrow



I feel suffocated and constrained


Looking beyond tomorrow.



Human suffering only


Increases manifold.


Looking beyond tomorrow.






The land we have


Is, not going to grow.


The food producing farms


Cannot produce any more.


I wonder what  will we do.


Looking beyond tomorrow.


Children today


Will grow, adults tomorrow.


Population is not reducing.


Nurturing mankind.


I feel constrained looking


Beyond tomorrow.

Poor who?













Poor who?
The man on the road, Begging
Collecting daily necessities.

The man in Mercedes,
Managing industries can’t let go.
Poor who?

The stranger walking up to me
On a sturdy morning
Asking nothing but
The extra belongings.
Poor who?


The children running naked
To help an elderly.
The educated woman watching
Thinking what an absurdity.
Poor who?
