AT THE CREASE

I stand at the crease

Hot and perspiring.

Comforted by a gentle breeze

Fifty four not out and no intention of retiring.

The pitch remains as bouncy as ever

With a lot of turn and bounce

That even the strongest heart it may deter

As close in fielders wait to pounce.

The going is tough

The bowling is tight

Balls like bullets hit the rough

Not over pitched but just right.

The bowler bowls a maiden

And the fielders applaud him

I stand determined like Hayden

Awaiting the next ball; to paste ’em.

I stand at the crease

Wondering about my strategy

Can I make a ton with ease?

And pray, God grants me the will and energy.

A TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES; THE BAND WITH A VISION

George Harrison’s guitar gently weeps

While the rest of the world blissfully sleeps

As he was totally shot down for keeps

George Harrison’s guitar did work wonders

But was it sufficient for this world? One wonders

Really makes us think; as everyone ponders

Get back you dirty world; get back

To the place where you once belonged; so relax

Get back and change your track

Don’t let me down, you people

Don’t you know nothing lasts like any other couple?

For they did crucify me under the maple

Here comes the sun; on a dirty world

Its all right if you don’t mind it being dirtier than the old

Sun, the sun, here it comes before we change the world

Come together, those who are disgusted

Come now; now to change the world so frustrated

I know you; as you know that you are morally diseased

Something along the way moves me

Something in the way she lets me move and be

Don’t wanna leave you now; the way you now be

I’d like to be; under the sea

In an octopuses’ garden; that is good for me

Resting our heads; till we are really free

When I’m in trouble; Mother Mary comes to me

Whispering words of wisdom; asking me me to let it be

So let it be; as they Beatles said let it be  till the answer comes me

Nothings gonna change my world

If you won’t help me change all that is untold

Before we to the devil are sold

It’s a long and winding road to change

We’ve seen that road before and can manage

Waiting for the day when it is within our range

Back to the USSR; back to communism

A place you hardly know as realism

While the US turns to USSR’s brand of communism

Let me take you down to those strawberry fields

Which are forever as long as your eyes are closed; without yields

While your heart knows it is nothing to get hung about and just bleeds

Strawberry fields may be forever

But for you my love who is for ever

I’m just never; my love is a dream forever

Penny lane; where the people come and go

Without even saying hello

In my eyes and ears nothing does show

Sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts Club band

Made you sit back and let the evening go without a stand

Sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts Club did play its hand

What would you think if I sang out outta tune or key?

Would you still love me; really and truly me?

If I write out of rhyme to get a bit high and be free

If I sang out outta tune or key

With a little help from friends so free

Would you still like me?

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes can deceive

And make everyone believe

For she is Lucy in the sky waiting to receive

Just Lucy in the sky with Diamonds

Waiting for the diamonds to remind us

That LSD is not gonna mend us

You say goodbye and I say hello

For you want the past to go

But I still say hello

A NATION WITHOUT A DESTINATION

In the name of a so called socialistic Democracy

We have fucked up this glorious and blessed country

For democracy truly means the same rule for and by all

But we talk only about reservation for the weak and small

We have thereby allowed lack of quality and mediocrity to thrive

While the intelligent and the smart with the merit face only strife

And dumbing down is all that that the politicians have achieved

Leaving the honest, the upright and all those worthy really peeved

Our very foundations are flawed and as a result truly weak

Leaving the honest, the upright and all those worthy truly meek

Can’t you see what socialistic Democracy is doing to us

Or am I the only one causing and raising a fuss

Quality in everything; only quality is all that we Indians need

To bring our country out of this morass and upto speed

Quality in all walks of life and quality in everything we do

Is what is lacking and harming this country too

We talk of quality assurance without knowing its implication

For we do remain a nation knowing not our destination

For we are a nation which does not know its own destination

For we are a nation knowing not our destination

A TRIBUTE TO THE "GUESS WHO": NO FUCK TONIGHT

Lonely feeling deep inside

Find a place where I can hide

Silent people crowding me

Sudden bitterness that I can see

No fuck tonight for company

No fuck tonight for my dream

No fuck tonight for me my lovely

No fuck to make me scream

Dat’ goes doo-dow-dow

Dat’ I don’t love

Dat’n-do I now show

Dat’ I don’t do  love

In the silence of my mind

Silent  movements I can find

Grabbing  me by the balls

Now I’m falling from places that falls

No fuck tonight in my bedroom

No fuck for company

No fuck even with a broom

No fuck to ruin me

Dat’ goes doo-dow-dow

Dat’ I don’t love

Dat’n-do I now show

Dat’ I don’t do  love

She says, "lets fuck" and I believe her

When we talk about the things she says

He hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave her

When they’re standing in each other’s ways

She’s tripping now to places she’s been to

And wonders what she’s  gonna find

She knows she’s been wrong but it won’t be long

Before she leave ‘em all far behind

‘Cause she’s the new Mother Nature talking over

She’s the new splendid lady come to fall

It’s the new Mother Nature taking cover

She’s getting’ to us all, she’s getting’ to us all

She said, "No" when she tried last time

It’s looking like she lost a friend

No use calling’ her a bitch ‘cause the sky is falling’

For she’s getting pretty near the end

A smoke-filled room in a corner basement

The situation must be right

A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine

She’s  gonna get it on right tonight

‘Cause she’s the new Mother Nature talking over

She’s the new splendid lady come to fall

It’s the new Mother Nature taking cover

She’s getting’ to us all, she’s getting’ to us all

She says, "Yes" and I believe her

When we talk about the things she doth say

He hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave her

When they’re not standing in each other’s way

She’s tripping now to places she’s been to

And wonders what she’s  gonna find

She knows she’s been wrong but it won’t be long

Before she leave ‘em all far behind

‘Cause she’s the new Mother Nature talking over

She’s the new splendid lady come to fall

It’s the new Mother Nature taking cover

She’s getting’ to us all, she’s getting’ to us all

Dat’ goes doo-dow-dow

Dat’ I don’t love

Dat’n-do I now show

Dat’ I don’t do  love

Dat’ goes doo-dow-dow

Dat’ I don’t love

Dat’n-do I now show

Dat’ I don’t do  love

HAPPY TO BE LONELY

I may be feeling lonely,

On this cliff where I now am

But its better to be lonely

Than to be with those clam

Who said they cared for me

While they only cared for selves

And lonely they let me be

As trophies filled their shelves.

So now I’m happy to be lonely

Though I haven’t had a fuck in years

For who needs a fuck only

Which leaves us only in tears

Happy to be lonely; to be lonely

Than be a trophy of theirs

Though I can’t fuck the comely

I am only happy with my tears

DON'T FUCK AROUND

Don’t fuck around

For the fool who does

His enemies doth surround

I'M A FOOL

I am a fool

I  believed those who said I was cool

And used me as their tool

LOOK INTO THE BOWL BEFORE GIVING

In the name of serving the deprived

Charities have become beggars

Not begging for the deprived

But begging for their salaried CEO buggers

Who drive around in limousines

And claim to serve the poorest of the poor

While drinking the finest of vintage wines;

They surely ain’t poor and that’s for sure.

In the name of serving the deprived

These NGO workers are taking us for a ride 

For they care a f*** for those who are starved

As they drive their limousines so wide.

So keep these facts in mind when "donating".

As you open your pockets for yet another ride
or so called natural disaster, calling you for giving.

Keep the following true facts in mind,

It is only those labelled “religious based" charity,

which pay, little to no taxes that you will find

and receive government assistance, a rarity

but does not have to declare where the money goes.  

So look into the bowl before dropping

Those coins so dear that you are a giving

And don’t be a fool unnecessarily forgiving

Of those to whom your money is a going

For you give only to guys who run theses charities

And not to those who suffer from social disparities
