Swearing ..

Swearing.
========
Truth swears by silence;falsehood by fake smiles.
 Love does it, through the beating of the heart.
 Hatred swears by churning of emotions and thoughts,
 Besides looks,labels,words and deeds of violence.
 Friendship swears never to betray or back stab.
 Enmity ensures the process of revenge and retaliation,
 Swearing by a secret oath of the warring mode
 To destroy the opposite camp without a trace of survival.

 Pride and arrogance patronize the swearing in of success.
 Defeat gulps in moments of pain, swearing not to repeat
 The causes and symptoms of failure through oversight.
 Religion swears in the name of God,through remorse
 Or retribution to rectify and re-lay the cross roads of the mind.
 If all swear to be human,it heralds the advent of Heaven on earth.

The Standing Candidate.



"Are you standing in the election?"
"Yes,I am, standing all the while,
When my leader keeps his larynx busy,
Waving to the crowd and vetting its emotion ,
If it were she, I should stand many steps away.
At times my leader would protrude his tongue,
Scolding me for not standing properly.
With folded hands I remain standing,
As a symbol of patience,resisting my rues.
The passion for power patronizes my patience.
The false smile on my fragile lips,
The begging pair of eyes that I hardly close,
Besides my acting arms and legs,
Are nothing but bogus preludes to
My swearing- in day, after which,
I will spread my wings of power to swagger.
If defeated, memories of my standing sessions,
Will stay as self made statues, slapping  my power dreams.
I was standing with the fond hopes of becoming
A sitting legislator,never to stand up and speak for a cause,
But at the next election I would resume my standing course.
My only grouse all through the standing campaign is that
I have never been allowed to stand at ease".

The Mothers' Day. {Happy Mothers' Day to all Dedicated Mothers}..











The Mothers' Day.
=============
You conceive life.
All the goodness of life belongs to you.
The bad chapters are those, self written.
You can not be called an accomplice
Of the acquired deficiency syndromes.
The genuineness of your genetic base,
Prevents the core values from crumbling.
You bear, not just the load of another life,
But all its pains as yours, both before and after,
You bring out what you bear, through a battering session.
All your pains fade into thin air,
When you see your flesh and blood
In a full,felicitous form of another life.
Your lap is ever the lap of luxury.
Who ever has missed it,has lost life's fantasy preludes.
A proud giver of all that you have,
You never look forward to what your children give.
Your role is unique for being universally free from corruption.
Your role should receive reverence not on a day, but on all days.
Let the mothers' day make sense, for all your days.
                                                                P.Chandrasekaran.

மேன்மை தரும் மேதினம் .





மேன்மை தரும் மேதினம்!

சாதிகள் இரண்டு .
ஆண்மையும் பெண்மையும்! .
உழைப்பது இரண்டு .
அறிவும், ஆற்றலும் .
மூளையின் முழுமை அறிவென்றாலும்
வேளைகள் பிறப்பது ஆற்றலின் தெறியே.
உடலும் உள்ளமும் உதிர்த்திடும் ஆற்றலே
கடலெனப் பரந்து உழைப்பலை ஆக்கும்.
எழும்பிடும் அலைகள் எட்டிடும் கரையே
இலக்குகளாகி இமயம் படைக்கும்.
வளர்ச்சி களின்றி வரலாறு உண்டோ
தளர்ச்சியில் வீழ்ந்தபின் தகைமை தங்குமோ.  
உழைப்போ ரின்றி உலகது உய்யுமோ!.
தழைப்பதே  தாரக மந்திரமென் றாக்கி
தரணியில் தரித்திரம் அகற்றும் கரங்களை
அரண்எனப்  போற்றி, ஆற்றல் தொழுவோம் .

The Plight of Missing...................

           The Plight of Missing...................

"Miss you" everybody says, every other way.
 We miss time, place, person and things.
 We miss the place we were born,
 The place we grew up and those with whom
 Life's lovely moments happened.
 When we shift places like changing shirts,
 When settlement turns a skeleton dream,
 When people come and go like traces in a travelogue,
 What we seem to miss, is what never belonged to us.
 We miss our nationality when we embrace
 Citizenship of another country.
 We miss our religion on conversion, out of compulsion.
 We miss the food we love when we don't get it.
 'Miss' is a term easier said, than felt.
 The state of missing is like the one,
 When a baby is pulled from its mother while being fed.
 It is like pulling a book of scriptures,
 From someone who is rooted to it, on a routine.
 When we miss someone  our heart is down
 With a trammeling pressure on its beat,
 Caused by a load of emptiness sitting on our soul.
 The frequencies of such a load  can exist as a fable.
 But when it strikes once, for one, it is nothing but fact.

சீர்தரும் சித்திரைத் திருநாள். .




                                            சீர்தரும் சித்திரைத் திருநாள் .

உத்தமப் பார்வை உள்ளிரு ளகற்றிட  
சித்திரை வந்தது சிறப்புகள் சேர்த்து .
நித்தமும் நெறியுடன் வாழ்வோர் என்றும்
முத்துக் குளிப்பது முகரிமை சேர்க்கவே.

வித்தைகள் வலம்வரும் வசீகர வாழ்வில்
அத்து மீறிடும் ஆட்டங்க ளனைத்தும்  
சித்துவிளை யாட்டாய்  சித்தம் கலக்கிட .
மொத்தமாய்க் குளிப்பர் கானல் நீரினில்!.

நித்திரை கலைந்ததும் நிழலது விலகி
ஒத்திகை யில்லா உண்மை அரங்கில்,
பித்தம் போக்கிட  பிறக்கும் சித்திரை,
சத்தமாய் சத்தியம் சிந்தையில்  நிறுத்தி!.

அத்தரு ணத்தில் அறத்தேர் இழுத்து
அத்தாட்சி யோடு ஆற்றல் பெறுவோம் .!

On a Sri Lankan Beach.



On the shores of a Sri Lankan beach
I stood dreaming of the habitual horrors
Of a civil war, that swiftly swallowed lives,
Like the stroppy sea with its surging waves.

There appeared an ethnic engineering base
Behind the turbulence of waters, changing colors,
Like the warring groups with varied whims.
My touring thoughts transformed into nightmares.

The ghosts of lives, killed in casual, military mode
With force native and borrowed from genetic neighbors,
Rose above the waves,in a mind boggling milky dance,
Choreographed by a dirty strain of death makers.

Soon as the waves receded,the ghosts retreated too,
As if to fix the shores,for a fresh flow of feuds to rue.
