Fraud
O religion, don't laugh!
Life on earth is tough.
Creation is downright ridiculous,
There is a camouflage looking fabulous.
I don't see any mercy in nature,
Dying and eating is its real feature.
Everyone wishes to be winner,
Loser is marked as abominable sinner.
O religion, shameless beneficiary!
You can make people only scary.
Can you give relief from pandemic?
Very much efficient in selfish gimmick.
Waiting for an afterlife full of greed,
What a hypocritical role plays the creed!
You cheat on the weak and frighten,
You degrade humanity, never heighten.

Attitude
If I want,
Sky makes cloudburst,
Nonetheless I burn
And suffer from desert thirst.
If I want,
I can make universe rock,
But time is standstill here
I feel contented without a clock.
I can't return to past
Although recalls my mind,
Memory flies like leaves
Swept away by the gusty wind.
The moon goes away
With the fragrant night,
I pass my solitary moments
Getting on imaginary flight.
Who is happy in the universe?
It's hard to say,
Someone enjoys and someone cries
On a rainy day.
...
Pain, a Sapphire
Sky speaks out when you come,
Air touches gently saying "awesome!"
I hear often a singing all around,
I don't know who creates this sound.
A vigil takes place in my savanna,
Words murmur in the light of diana.
Looks like I'm not a girl, a misnomer,
Am I the whirlwind of hot summer?
In dream I fly and sit on your cheek,
In reality no grace I hope or seek.
You remain so far that I can't touch,
Nonetheless who produces love too much?
I romanticize and beautify
The void gray sky.
Rude reality becomes fairytale,
With blossoms smiles the blue vale.
O bluebird, give me blue pain!
By no means love can be slain.
Come pain! I'll be sapphire, bluish,
A gemstone that reflects anguish.
...
Poison Becomes Wine
You can't prevent counter attack
But you hurt,
You break into pieces and
Scatter apart.
I had a key of happiness of
Golden color,
You blind thought it fire
What a satire!
I give you pitch darkness
Keep it in mind,
Moon is smiling on my lips
Leaving torment behind.
Will you give me pain?
So easy?
I can only give and don't take
Freakish and crazy.
I tolerate and love blue pain
Out of fun,
Cup of poison becomes wine
In the long run.
...When I Stay Away From Love
Oh goodness!
Am I fond of love, psychic blindness?
Love of human being?
It's detained in invisible framing.
I love the sky,
There I fly and fly.
I love wind,
Addicted to rushing this gypsy mind.
Love of lad?
Filled with interest wearing romantic clad.
Am I crying?
No no, my eyes look like usually tearing.
Downright lying!
May be it's my diplomacy of wording.
O oblivion!
Let me drop into you my cliche common.
...
If I Knew
Did I know?
A sea of pain in me would flow.
Did I understand?
Love is an invisible quicksand.
If I knew,
My eyes didn't exude constant dew.
Each moment aching,
Love is like a grueling mountain trekking.
He is a cheat,
My cozy days turned into desert heat.
Always burning and burning,
Am I destined to do eternal mourning?
Obviously not,
Despite torment I'm happy a lot.
Want to know how?
Because before negative forces I never bow.
...Love is Drowsiness
O night flower jasmine, please say!
Is it illusory magic of moon ray?
My thoughts are so weird,
All around sings the bluebird.
Am I lunatic or hallucinating?
On rude reality I give romantic coating.
No matter how much you hinder,
One day I'll take the poison, no wonder.
Green looks black in the dark,
Mistakenly I bear the bruises of love-mark.
It's post-modern age of realism,
Emotion looks like silly, sarcasm.
Let me be ruthless rational being,
I'll stop attributing art to something on seeing.
I'll make life emotionless easier,
Let me be awakened, not drowsier.
