The flight of Her’s [poem]

Hello all,
A few days back, I faced with a dreadful enemy, what we commonly call “stress”. As in too much to do, too little time, and no one helping out. It so happened that the work I had delegated fell back on myself, and an assignment was preponed, thus very much toppling my schedule.

Quite unhappy, and depressed, I was struggling for happiness, in yet another forlorn period by our crack brained Computers in Communication teacher, when a flighty soul liberated me from all pain and suffering :) My fine feathered friend flew past our classroom, and showed me the better part of life and liberty. Thus, happiness liberated, I decided to dedicate a poem to my liberator in that dull and mundane period…

The flight of Her’s
[ written in thanks to a brown pigeon which saved my soul from ultimate depression and hate. thank you :) ]

‘Cross oceans, vast seas, lands she flew,
To find a realm, of peace, of hue.
Unwelcome darts did blockade every path,
Invited they, with open arms, Mars’ due wrath!

And as she flew through hearts of conflict,
A tiny beam, a ray, of hope did inflict;
She a happy bird, landed in joy,
To be confronted; Oh She! It was all a coy!

Into his heart, she flew in like the wind,
Trapped she was; the heart, she  found, had no mint!
A group,  and army, saddening that true heart,
She tried to med, alas it was beyond all chart!

In those depths of death, so dark,
She clutched onto that heart, that last mark.
And from darkness to light, she flew with him,
A rush of light, liberating his whim!

To be free, Oh freedom behold!
Into a rush of change; she did mould!
Thank you, my dear, for driving away the dark!
Thank you, thank you, my fair fond lark!

Poem - A walk through the gardens of Peace II

Hello,
Here is a poem I wrote today during an ultra boring session of Computers in Communication, where the professor was raging on about the history of computers and the fullform of ALU… :D

A walk through the gardens of Peace II

A bay lead drifts in time with the eastward draft,
The smoke trail raises, it came from a shaft!
Another life rose; a lifeless kissed the ground.
The pigeon fell, and She lay closely bound.

And doubly bound, she lays; awaits her fate,
The lily drops, leaving droplets red in her wake!
They say where love doth fail, hate begins,
And that is how, the story, fate spins…

As pursuit flew, for Laurels more,
Leaf by leaf, the Bay tree doth sore.
Now bald, with pseudo-leaves a part,
Lies the tree, lamenting, for naught defensive darts.

Sooth do I speak, I say the garden transforms?
To become but a spring time dorm?
“No sir!” Cries She from her present past;
Contemplating late, Oh, a fool’s repast!

I was treating the issue of world peace sarcastically. They say that we are in a peace situation now. Oh really?!!!

Today, there are wars fought for the cause of peace… Relegious battles… Racist issues… Terrorism… Show of arms… Silent threatning… And they say we have attained peace?

I would love to hear your take on the issue :) Please do comment! Cheers :)

My transformation to literature…

Hello all,
I would like to inform all of you that I wont be “blogging for peace” as often as before. Indeed, as a regular reader, you might know that the standard of my “peace” articles has been on the steady decrease for the last half a year or so because of my busy schedule.

But does this mean that I’m shutting down BlogForPeace? Definitely not.

I wanted to tell you that for the next 3 years I will be using BlogForPeace as my voice to the world. In short, I will be writing all my pieces of literature and poetry here, along with peace and socially relevant articles. I’ve joined up the Center for Social Action in my college, and I will be writing about my experiences. I’m converting BlogForPeace from an exclusively peace blog to one of my writing, poetry, social articles, and ofcourse, peace.

If you have any complaints/suggestions/feedback or difference of opinion, please do mail me -

coolmohan [AT] gmail [DOT] com

        Thank you for hearing me out… And if you’re interested in my take of the world, stick around :)
