My India!


My India!
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE
Rainbow drapes the mounts in north
While the deep blue ocean roost in south
Bounded by sandy desert on westward
Theres a bay once you traverse to eastward
Where a song is hummed in languages more than all birds know
Where the peacocks all dance to the rainy tune
Where stars are not celestial but from the celluloids
Where dreams are big and bold in those childish eyes
Where the “zero” of all things began
Where many epic wars were fought
Great minds and braves were born and brought
Is that land now free for all......?
For safe haven of women, theres a fear stalled
For entrapped minds in superstitions false
Education not yet affordable to all
Walls of faith still used for dividing all
From people in reign not doing their job  
Blame it on us for not being the change...
But watching ourselves of our freedoms robbed!

The Dandelion

The Dandelion
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE
Not nice not real
Too fancy is the dandelion
One blow, and it all flows
Into the unknown oblivions
White and feathery
Oh so dreamy
Like the insomnic eyes
Fragile so easily unbinds
From the superficial ties
When does this all end
Untill everyone has despised?
