Down to Our Earth

Standing on the cliff
I looked down the rocks
I saw the deep valley
With bones all around.

My heart beat fast
I said to myself
I will be bones
If I put a step ahead.

The rocks laughed out
They all mocked at me
What it takes to jump
I dint have in me.

The winds then blew
Stronger and Wild
As if to push me
saying 'Jump Oh Child'!

I dont know why
You all are after me.
& I jumped to death
To land in peace.

I opened my eyes
& I asked them all
You knew I wont die
Then why dint u tell.

You dont believe
and you never will
For we arent valued
For who we are.

You trusted us for life
We saved you didnt we?
You think of us as slaves
& we revolt back, you see.

You have learnt lessons
& we teach them all the time.
You are said to be pirates
The pirates who mime.
You think we are here
Just to fill the dearth.
Come make us your habitat
& Heavens will come
Down to our Earth.

I'm a Techie

Follow my orders

else I'll start to ache

Threats my back gave.

I rubbished them

I ignored them

Now its me who suffer.

I'm a bencher

I sit always

On bench but on the chair.

Tyre grows daily

Eyes are strained

All days are bad hair.

I'm not happy

I cant say

coz there is no ear to hear.

For Them I work

I'm a hero.

I say to get them near.

Only a few

Get a chance

Luckily I'm one.

One of the

ten millions I'm.

& My mom's lucky son.

Big short names

Huge clean frames

There is a fact absurd.

Its name game

With some lame fame

In this Illusioned world.

Just a graduate

I was

Unwaged Underdog

What hoaxed them

to let me in

is a mystery yet unsolved.

They were hoaxed

or it was me

doesnt matter anyway.

Hoaxed, ofcourse

millions are

but all are not strays.

Manipulated

life is

Clearly now I know.

I'm a techie

A bit more lucky

Is a myth most echoed.

Working for a year

and two

I realise I'm gettin old.

Old enough for

them to think

My skills cant be sold.

Old enough for

my back to warn me

I'll start to ache.

Being old

is no pleasure

having cut just 23 cakes.

Mind it

Oh mankind

Techies dont earn much.

Nor they have

a happy life

and have nothin nonesuch.
