A Compendium of 4 Winter Poems & all other supplementary poems., By Ashwini Kumar Goswami [reading like a writer .txt] 📗

/> Children are being nourished for a lucrative progress !
Teenagers are found lavishly loitering and philandering,
In public gardens and streets quite unusually wandering !
Juvenile adults in their pet peer groups ever assembling,
Many of them are staking money in the dens of gambling !
The old people are found to be of time-passing hobbies,
Spending most of time in playing cards in their lobbies !
A very few people appear to cherish image of mensch,
Whenever any help needed deliberately they quench !
They succour needy people even without any intimacy,
Though the beneficiaries accept it just like a legacy !
The burden of needs and wants is spreading tremendousnly,
Coupled with such extra bulk being raised mendaciously !
The mensches usually are ever emotional and innocent,
Unmindful of mendacity of wants they face to implement !
Thus expending lavishly a major part of their wealth,
Though they are already sustaining expensive ill-health !
I have come across incidentally many a such mensch,
Facing dire dearth of money unduly as a consequence !
Bankruptsy whenever such mensches happen to suffer,
No one from among their beneficiaries then stands succour !
Selfishness dominatly prevailing thus we have to prefer,
Well-said, “Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper” !

“Present To The Omnipresent”?

Almost all religious people worship God,
All over the country and even abroad !
Different are His images and surnames,
Enthroned they are in jewelled frames !
All that we people are doing, blatantly to state,
Every performance to satiate only our own taste,
Irrespective of whatsoever may be its fate!
We present delicious eatables before God/Goddess in faith!
That, too, is with confidence to suit only to our own taste!
The non-veg do offer sacrifice and meat to please their deity,
Just to gain their own conventional and hereditary gaiety!
Veggies present delicious sweets and salty eatables instead,
Which is also aimed at making themselves gay and glad !
God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent,
Needless to feed himself by any eatable, howsoever, decent !
His Honest Hunger solely prefers only devotion & worship,
Enough to please Him to juxtapose us in His Heavenly Ship !
Sages/Saints pleased Him only through sense of devotional concentration,
Without offering any such pleasing presents to achieve His confrontation !

“Reversal Betwixt Two Distinct Entities”
><><><><><><><><
There are two totally reverse identities,
Both well-known all around the world !
One is adored and loved by all communities !
The other is also a pet guard with herald !
The former can revert to be the latter !
The latter can never turn to be the former,
In spite of his sense of obeisance ever better,
He adheres vigilantly to his earmarked corner !
Puzzle to cudgel brain to know as to who they are ?
One is here and near us, the other is existent afar !
Let me myself tell that one of them we call a dog !
The other ubiquitously existent is our Benign God !

“PRETENTIOUS PULCHRITUDE”
*************
Most of us usually seek handsomeness in the mirror,
Irrespective of any natural physical deficiency or error !
Face only is taken for assessment of whole of the physique,
In spite of other parts of body being subnormally specific !
Heavily made-up faces ever exhibit flimsy pulchritude,
Mirror cannot expose anyone’s actual inner magnitude !
Make-up has become an enviously enforced fashion,
People wear it much more crazily to prove passion !
Mirror thus misguides all made-up faces lasciviously,
Thereby creating crazy ego for affaire mendaciously !
Proliferating are thus sophisticated beauty parlours,
Attracting people to brighten and whiten skin colours !
Notwithstanding all that, originality speaks ever,
Artificiality is euphoric to become eternal never !
Genuineness ultimately represents the real entity,
To vindicate well one’s veracious virtue & vitality !

“Hodge-Podge Of Housing Heritage”
*******************************
The rich apart, lacs of hoi-polloi are living in old houses,
Built in inadvertently with limited ancestral sources !
Their dwelling is restricted to only such unplanned flat,
Without corridor, drawing-room, kitchen and loo in that !
Stiffling kaput kitchenette and aloof itchy-titchy toilet !
Annexed to an open space along with a coeval cow-shed !
Piled-up dung-heap is accumulating there everyday,
Beside the preserved bulky stock of the edible hay !
Thereby environment being obnoxious in the vicinity,
Unmindful of any civic sense and code of municipality !
Such situation, though, now remains in lout locus standi,
Huddy-duddies there have become immune and so trendy !
Yet, it causes health hazards more in growing generation,
Proliferating, hence, are diseases among huge population !
Government and autonomous bodies seem not solicitous,
To lay stress on any remedial plan to dissipate such status !
The only solution in sight is scheme of new colonization,
And beckoning charmingly so sustaining population,
To barter their unhygienic houses with the new township,
Under any administrative drive via an errand or a whip !
