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

The banyan tree

The banyan tree The banyan tree stood tall on the hill behind my house I watched it with awe and respect as a child It was a symbol of infinite strength, firmly rooted to the earth If someone would try to pull it, the entire hill would come along As I was growing up, it was also growing stronger So I thought until one day a gust of wind came along and it fell It was just a gust, mind you, neither gale nor storm And yet it lay broken, totally hollow from inside I felt deceived , heartbroken People came, cut it and took away the pieces And as the banyan tree slowly disappeared so did my childhood © Mandar Jayant Kokatay
