Poem : No One Wins in War

Image
No one wins in war, In war, what wins in anguish. No one wins in war, In war,what wins is poverty. No one wins in war , In war , what wins is cruelty. No one wins in war, In war,what wins is pollution. No one wins in war, In war,what wins is death. No one wins in war, In war, what wins is destruction. --------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poem : The Arithmetic of Flattery

(Photo  free download from pexels.com)



The boss's walk,his rise and fall,
His likes and dislikes ----
Keep your vulture eyes busy with them.

When the ripple of his laughter lingers,
Ask yourself --
Do your cheeks raise the same wave in time ?

Make sure the words 
Flowing from your lips
Carry a trembling note of servile joy.

Match your passive smoking
To the boss's active puffs ----
Strive for balance there.

Soften your oily body language,
Mixing it well with  studied sweetness.

And master ----
Don't forget to keep
One sharp eye on the scrap heap !

------------

Poem : A Moment with Conscience

Image
One day I suddenly met my conscience. I said " What's the matter ? These days I hardly ever see you ! " Hearing me, my conscience brust into  laughter. It said, " Earlier you used to keep me in the mirror, And I too would find the chance To sting you from time to time. But now ------- I'm locked away in the deep freez, solid  ice ." --------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam kumar Mallick

Poem : Mother Durga Is Coming

Image
(Photo credit Ravi Roshan,free download from pexels) My heart whispers -- Mother Durga is coming. So many words rise within me, yet they remain unspoken. The thoughts of heart Stay  locked within. Last time, I had wished to say -- O Mother, grant me the strength to gift my wife a new sari, to clothe my child in fresh attire -- But the words never left my lips. Instead,within my heart I prayed O Slayer of Demons, do not falter in Your battle ! Yet even that remained unsaid. And when You arrived ,Mother, Your Presence filled me with such joy That I forgot everything else. But this time I shall speak, I must speak ---- Mother, make me the demon myself Mother, make me the demon. ------/-------/// Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick.

Poem : Rabindranath

You  are  in  song, You  are  in  poem, You  are  in  dance drama, You   are   in   rhythm. You   are   strength, You   are   devotion, You   are   peace, In   every   emotion. In   every inspirational   thought, In   every   good dream, You   reside, Within  the  heart's gleam. ------------------------ Poet : Dr. Goutam  Kumar  Mallick
