ADDENDA
TO
MY COMPENDIUM
OF POEMS
AT A GLANCE


“Venue of Verses”
****************
*How I wish I visit various verbatim verses,
*That are perfect within poetic parameters !
Like a patient peeping at oncoming nurses,
In Hospital wards or its operation theatres !
*My anxiety aims at contemplating cute poems,
*To edify epic of draft with vivid verbose gems !
*Perfectly ponderous poems perpetuate in mind,
Ushering the writer towards his target to find !
At our leisure and pleasure, better read poems select,
*For exalting inner energy and imagery of the intellect !
Pursuance of such tenable trend seems advisable,
To better the poesy to become more widely affable !
*Poets thus feel fully furnished for facing the best bets,
In the area of libraries or poetic forums and its assets !
Agony is that English poesy is facing now a dire dearth,
*Though English is globally fluttering feathers to stretch !
*Hindi poetry is though hailing hilariously in the forum,
*Yet often found fallibly existent with errors in decorum !
Spelling, metres, poetic parameters stand rarely intact,
Thus making poetic endeavour to emit adverse effect !

“THE CONTROLLER OVERALL”
***************************
WHAT IS THAT WHICH IS NOT A MATTER – SOLID, LIQUID OR GAS,
ALSO NOT EVEN ANY LIVING BEING, NOR DEVIL, GOD OR GODDESS ?
IT IS INVISIBLE AND INVINCIBLE EVER THROUGH ANY POWER,
ALSO NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY ORIGIN OR END, HOWSOEVER !
IT IS PLENIPOTENT ENOUGH EVEN TO GOVERN OVER THE DIVINE,
NO ANY GEOMETRICAL DEVICE CAN DIVERT ITS PREDESTINED LINE !
ITS PRETERNATURAL POWER CONTROLS EVEN BEYOND UNIVERSE;
IT STEERS THE GEARS OF ANY EVEN OR ODD AND BOON OR CURSE !
THE MORE IT IS ELAPSED, THE MORE IT HAPPENS TO COME AFRESH,
WHAT IS THAT, CUDGEL YOUR BRAINS, QUITE EXACTLY TO GUESS !
RUMINATE FOR A WHILE IF YOU COULD FIND OUT WHAT IS IT CALLED ?
READING NOT FURTHER FOR A SMALL SPELL, AS IT IS BEING RECALLED !
LET ME TELL NOW ITS NAME, AS I HOPE YOU, TOO, MAY HAVE KNOWN,
IMPENDING WAS ITS DISCLOSURE, OVERFLOWING NOW TO BE BLOWN !
IT’S NOTHING ELSE THAN THAT WHICH WE UNIVERSALLY CALL TIME,
THAT IS PLENIPOTENT ENOUGH TO GOVERN OVER EVEN THE DIVINE !
SO WE MUST DEVOTE TO TIME RUMINATIVELY AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY,
AND NOT TO LET IT SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS ANYWAY IRRATIONALLY !
“TIME” IMPARTIALLY PROVIDES EPHEMERAL CHANCE TO TEST OUR VIRTUE,
TO DETERMINE OUR FUTURE AS PER OUR OUR GOOD OR BAD DEEDS IN VIEW !
“DO WELL, GET WELL” IS ITS DIVINE DOGMA TO APPLY UNFORGIVABLY,
“DO EVIL, FACE DEVIL” IS A PARALLEL COROLLARY NOTED UNDENIABLY !

“LIFE TIME”
**********
Better never natter about any unusual matter,
Do only what is due honestly without chatter !
Keep well set all and let not anything scatter,
Mother Earth will provide what is due to cater !

Let never slip any moment of our living life,
Irrespective of gaiety and even fateful strife !
The time once gone-by never turns back again,
Not awaiting anything, though it may go in vain !

Life is analogous to an ongoing travelling train,
We are its passengers to alight it after a span !
So adhere to our dutifulness sincerely all time,
To achieve our aimed goal proving to be prime !

Blessed, as we are, with our birth as humans,
So we are only lucky to earn a Divine Sense !
Dare not lose this chance to please the Creator,
Lest we should be liable never to be so better !


“TANTALIZING TALISMANS”
*******************
A fluke golden bird seen frequently fluttering overhead;
A pea-cock spreading his feathers to look blissfully glad;
A butterfly seen flapping seems to be fervently fluky;
Flamingos seen numbering seven make us almost lucky;
A nightingale’s singing so well is a sign of good-luck to tell;
Sweet voice heard of a cuckoo makes us meet our choice;
A white elephant seen raising his trunk augments our wealth;
A tiger seen chasing the prey may energize well our health;
A wed chaste woman coming in front makes our day prosperous;
A white cow seen suckling her calf makes us honourably generous;
A marriage procession passing on the right ensures well our bliss;
A funeral procession en passant on the left shows someone we miss;
High-flying kites in the hollow sky forecast good rains as we imply;
Optimists usually admit so without raising dilemma of how and why;
Such omens are tantamount to blind-beliefs beyond dogmas of science;
Basis of these talismans is nothing else than usually believed signs !
It depends on our own psyche whether or not to give them weight;
Wise are those who carry on usual life depending upon Divine Fate !
Any readers coming across any of the above auguries by chance;
May await result at least for a week to reach the truth at our glance !
That is an earnest request to provide me such records to compile;
To weigh such omens and preserve them in a knowledgeable file !
***************
“HURDLES OF HOO-DOOS”
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
A black cat or dog crossing us abruptly in the way;
An owl hooting overhead at our home or in our sway;
A crow cooing on the left of our auspicious start;
A dog or wolf groaning in front of house or cart;
A widow confronting us while we are feeling aspirant;
Anybody with empty pitcher seen returning en passant;
A buffalo braying wildly on any auspicious enjoying;
Anybody asking during start as to where are we going;
Snorting just while making a debut for any endeavour;
Sweeping dust inadvertently when someones being near;
These are common omens to augur anything adverse;
Whether true or superstitious, we all usually converse !
These hoo-doos weaken our wit and will in daily life;
Weak and whimsy, our psyche, faces blindly such strife !
There is no any scientific evidence to ratify so many an augury;
If our psyche is strong, these are just like unbaked pottery !
Any readers facing any of the above auguries per chance;
May seek results for a week to dig out truth to be at glance !
That may enable me to gather all such records to compile;
To weigh these omens after preserving them well in a file !
+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
“Socio-political Systems”
*********************
The world has ever been under two Socio-political Systems,
Either governed by matriarchy or its antonym patriarchy !
Physically though patriarchy cherishes stronger symptoms,
Yet in reality, matriarchy is omnipresent including monarchy !
Battles-wars even occurred because of hidden feminine interest,
Females seemed ever its dominant back-supporters to be best !
In business, history, politics, or games, they are more charming,
At home, too, their role is invincibly forceful as well as alarming !
In religion also Mother Universe is the Prime Originator Overall,
Before whom even Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh are prostrate to fall !
The feminine dominance is thus evinced eternally everywhere,
Naturally belonging to fair sex with everthemore onerous flair !
Under Divine Law, female is called undeniably the creative sex,
Ever entertaining the male partner even if he happens to vex !
To exemplify feminine dominance, we may call anyone on phone,
In its response invariably we may hear everytime a feminine tone,
Telling whereabouts of the person called whether or not at home,
That’s all the modus operandi illuminating the feminine epitome !
Besides, in all domestic drudgery females ever appear dominant,
However superior are males there, however, be they prominent !
Hence, let us try our best forthwith for such dominance to ratify,
In order to let us know its affirmative and comprehensive reply !
Bye ! Bye ! Bye !
“Egregious Egoism”
+_+_+_+_+_+_+
Caste, Creed, Communalism, Politics, Religion & Trade,
Discriminate people to reserve distinct class or grade !
Schedules castes/tribes or Other Backward Classes,
Are yet almost living lives below the rest of masses !
Save very few reserve seats too lesser per percentage,
Through which they reach assembly-parliament stage !
Such scenario contemplates mutual egregious ego trip,
Resultant is thus schadenfreude to sink civil citizenship !
Unity of nation is thus pierced by desperate disparity,
The priority is a must now to promulgate unanimity !
Though our Constitution guarantees right of equalty,
En effect it has been proving yet a defeating difficulty !
Ascetic abbots, monks,leaders, pleaders, sages & saints,
Are only worth persuading to canvass from their tents
Egalitarian homogeneity to be preferred unanimously,
Condemning castism-racism openly or anonymously !
============


“Ostensible Ornery Officers”
***************
Officers and staff constitute all offices and departments,
Wide-spread in all private, public or business apartments !
Coordinating cooperation between officers and staff,
Is a prerequisite to pontificate bonanza in their graph !
Fateful was some length of my veteran service career,
Working with only two irascible bosses creating barrier !
Both of them appeared invariably to be at daggers drawn,
Splitting the organization into riven relations ever to plan !
Going through the wringer, they waste most of working hours,
Blowing their own trumpet to pontificate their vested powers !
Repeated cups of coffee are consumed every now and then,
Rigidly reluctant remaining to use their well pinned-up pen !
One day, per chance, I had had to face each of them by turn,
I, too, then happened to be behaved aptly quite so to learn !
One of them when went to the length of throwing my file,
I couldn’t help myself throwing it out in a similar style !
Jeering so fearlessly at him as to make him widely smile,
Grasping my inert irate intent, he sent for that very file !
Other staff peeping through the door ajar giggled aloud,
Thus humbling down wrath of the boss made me proud !
From that day onward, such hollow bossiness stayed afar,
Every worker was thence looked upon as a shining star !
Once while in retreat, the ornery officers called me alone,
To unveil their latent languishing life in a whispering tone !
One of them was perturbed about transfer of his spouse,
Posted in distant headquarters under a political grouse !
The other so-called irate boss was living squabbling life,
A barren virago being his ever invincible wandering wife !
The insidious ire thus being circumstantial ever to incur,
The mealy-mouthed staff only endured so without demur !

“Miseries Of Misanthropy”
**********************
Alphabetically Communal sensitivity, Different culture,
Higher-Lower Rank, Introverted Instincts, Political and
Religious Disparity, Poverty & Richness etc., etc.,
These are tantamount to a mealy-mouthed misanthropy,
Dividing the nation into segmentation in the social canopy !
The capitalists, the proletariat as well as the bourgeoisie
Are its consequential segments in our world, as we see !
People of each sector grudgingly gurn at each other,
Willy-nilly coordinating cooperaation selifishly rather !
Filmy, political, religious, social or sporting celebrities,
Particularly seem to be bilateral misanthropic identities !
Widely so disparate seems the nation with desparate generation,
The rich enjoy wealthy veneration, the rest mere remuneration !
Theoretically, there appear no any formulae of equation,
Misanthropic mentality, hence, is its implied inclination !
Resultant is thus split in the total unanimity of
