Murder in the womb

Murder in the womb

I was created from
your loves pure seed
The next generation from
your pristine breed

Mom, you sensed me
taking root in you
your happiness engulfed me
you felt born anew

you shared my being
shyly, with dad
i could hear him laughing
saying he's so glad

the day you felt bliss
seeing my heart beat
I felt nurtured in abyss
with your devotion sweet

you pampered me
spoke small baby words
you and I were we
my feelings you heard

until one day suddenly
at the ultrasound clinic
you were told 'its a she'
and I could feel you panic

suddenly i was unwelcome
like an unwanted burden
the change was awesome
my growth was forbidden

why did you end my dream?
didn't you know what I'd feel?
could you not hear me scream?
when they hurt me with steel

I wanted to be born and be
to make you and dad proud
to exist in this world and see
to speak my mind aloud

You rejected me for a 'he'
who hadn't been concieved yet
in fact, you willingly murdered me
will you be able to bear this debt?

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5)

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5) Fighting till the end Chose our country over life Eternal hero! © Mandar Jayant Kokatay It is since 1971 that a flame which is often known as Amar Jawan Jyoti (or the flame of the immortal soldier) is continuously burning under the shrine of India Gate at New Delhi, the capital of India.  It is a structure consisting of black marble plinth, with reversed rifle, capped by war helmet, bound by four urns, each with the permanent flame. It serves as India’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Amar Jawan Jyoti is manned round the clock by soldiers drawn from the three services of the Indian armed forces. Wreaths are placed at the Amar Jawan Jyoti on Vijay Diwas, and on 26 January, by the Prime Minister of India, Chiefs of Armed Forces, and other dignitaries. More recently, an online portal has been launched by our veterans to honour the Martyrs. You can visit it at :-   https://honourpoint.faujipoint.com

Nirvana - Self enlightenment (Haiku-5-7-5)

Nirvana - Self enlightenment (Haiku-5-7-5)  No craving to speak Neither desire to listen Cherish this silence © Mandar Jayant Kokatay Note : The word 'Nirvana' has many meanings in different languages and cultures. In the Buddhist context nirvana refers to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. [ 2] In Hindu philosophy, it is the union with the divine ground of existence Brahman (Supreme Being) and the experience of blissful egolessness. Gautam Buddha attained 'Nirvana' while sitting under a Bodhi tree in Gaya, Bihar, India. Nirvana in Sanskrit literally means "blown out", as in a candle. Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away.
