Sweet Suffering

Most holy godhead so human

Born in a manger to a woman

Every knee bow down in awe 

Universe its savior saw 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering 

Triune God revealed his humanity 

Meeting their noble divinity 

To be the unmoved mover 

Planted in our heart thou sower 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering 

Thy tranquility so radiant 

 Godness thou so obedient 

Cared for the poor and lowly 

Giving hope to everyone slowly 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering

You clutched the humble hearted 

Extreme concern for the hope departed 

You trampled the people of fame

Made them cover with shame 

Triumphant thy sweet sorrow 

Thou liveth a life so shortly

Alluring millions of people briefly 

Suffered a painful ordeal 

Death on a cross so big deal 

Triumphant thy sweet sorrow 

A Poem for Lent

Mothers Love

A little creation in mothers womb

Created all the difference 

Her cheeks broadened with joy

A tiny creature in her arms 

Helpless in her bosom so warm

Her whole being tingled with cheer 

Filling her guts with joyous song 

Bursting out with laughter 

Whilst baby remained sacred 

Helpless in mothers clutch 

No more sorrow for she is triumphant 

Her heart has no malice 

A pure love towards her creature 

For she created a noble human 

Helpless in her breasts

Mother, always love personified

Love so selfless and divine 

My tears became her acute pain 

My smile became her sparkle of hope 

Helpless in her hands 

It hurt her every time I shed tears

Causing her heart to cumbersome 

Yet she sympathized with a smile

Sorrow hidden behind her lips 

Helpless child in her heart 

  

Nation of the common man

Indian politics has been a jigsaw puzzle for a long time. It either depended on the familiar clan or based on certain ideologies. For a long time people voted because either they belong to the great congress party or a party which promotes a bharath, a local name for India. It was almost a routine trend that either congress will rule the nation or the BJP. After a long tenure of ten years the congress saw its demise when powerful new leader won a sweeping majority to form the government. Mr. Modi raised his party to the hight of win over all other parties. 

When Modi came to be the administrator of the nation it was obvious that people wanted a change and not because he was a better leader. It is true that every Indian thinks that every politician is equally corrupt as the other. Hence there is a laxity in interest in politics. It's true that most politicians are corrupt and their electoral promises remain promises. Modi is known for his oratory skills who can capture the crowd with words. Everyone expected a lot from Modi but the expectations remained unanswered. It is obvious that his foreign policy made him popular in the international sphere whereas he remained a mumb at home. People went bizarre when price for the crude oil decreased and India had no price decrease for along time. At last when it did happen people attributed this to Modi administration without knowing the international market price. Matter of fact international crude price has decreased drastically but it's still staggering in India. 

Recent atrocities against minorities is clear evidence of his difficiency in his administration. The present government assured protection to the minorities from the religiously motivated terrorist in India. But Mr. Modi has not made any solid and strong statements against religious violence so far. It is commendable to hear home minister extending his support to the minorities in this great nation. I know that home ministry is responsible to clear the religious terrorists but I expected Modi to make statements as my leader and leader of you all. 

I would like to commend the people of Delhi who went into the polls to vote  to change. Despite the powerful central government pressure common mans party went on to win a sweeping majority to form the government. It showed that the people of Delhi have not voted based on any religious purposes or routine only vote for major party. AAP means common man party has showed to both the major parties that the people are fed up with empty and uncouth promises. I don't know what this new party will do for the bruised nation but I a certain that at least people don't tolerate any more. Give power to the people should be our cry. I remember the movie 'Indian' which showed how a common man can get frustrated with the system and start act harshly to put things in place. May be we want to see this happen in our nation. Give power to the common man, power to farmers, power to the poor tea vendor at the street corners, power to the media, power to the teacher, power to the police, power to the industrial worker irrespective of his religion, colour, caste. We need power to rule ourselves. Hence we've build a nation that Gandhi dreamed of 'a nation of equals', a nation where milk and honey will flow without ceasing, a nation of a common man, a nation of the free, a nation of the fearless.
