SATIRICAL POEMS

Come on! Be brave—

Why exhaust yourself chasing size?
Greatness isn’t in noise or display.
I’m hungry, slightly lost,
Racing through unfinished days—
And yes,
The laundry still complains.

*** ****

Politicians—

Grand in speeches, small in action;
Careless, corrupt, conveniently blind.
The world keeps crying,
Violence echoes everywhere,
And peace?
Missing in action.

Modern people

Modern people—
Working day and night,
Chasing a dream
Of a grand ocean-side house,
To prove that success has arrived.

Busy all day,
Busy all night—
And haven’t seen the ocean
In quite a while.
