Princess Diary

When I was small,
I used to run wild,
Every evening in fields so green,
With endless might.

But where are the fields,
Where are the children?
Have all wised in their shorts,
Oh! What else a changed world could have brought.

We say the world is changing,
But changing for what,
When the real motive is still,
To get an apple i pod.

The gadgets and gizmos,
So easy to operate,
Just a click and you connect,
To a superficial world...

A virtual world...believe me,
Its just that,
And you know why you love this world,
Because your real world is so very bad.

Why not change it...why not make it,
Why hide from reality...why escape it,
Give it a thought...think it twice,
Make a difference...with your actions wise.

Let it happen...today itself,
Because who knows about tomorrow,
Give it a try my dear friends,
I tell u because you are the leaders of tomorrow.

I dedicate this poem to Kankan...who is no more alive...we were the captain of Blue House and that year he lost his life....

That day...we were chosen,
The crown was put..oh! so heavy,
But we both shared it,
And promised to do so...till we passed it.

Both had a long way to go...
To prove that people were right in their decision,
And we did so,
And took a resolution.

Our heads raised high...
People praised us,
And we walked hand in hand,
Before darkness embraced us.

One day he fell ill,
Doctors said its brain tumour,
And I could do nothing more,
But pray it was a rumour.

Days passed and turned to weeks...
And u still lay silent,
In your eyes I could relive the dreams we saw together,
Some accomplished and others yet to grow feather.

The first time ever Blue House lost,
But the plain hope that you existed,
Gave me strength to move on.

You were ill but still you said,
"In the board ill compete with you",
And as always we enjoy competing,
That was very true.

Just a day before you were operated,
I paid a visit to you,
I was scared to enter your silent mansion,
Which earlier echoed with your giggles and gooes.

A ray of hope that you would recover,
Prayers that you would join us soon,
Because I could no longer bear the responsibility,
Without the strong shoulders of you.

It seemed that God had planned something else,
Because u never really got better,
But worsened day by day,
Till u left us forever.

The last time I saw u(the picture still alive in my eyes),
Before they carried you away,
Your pall-bearers I wanted to be one,
Though I had no courage to say.

What next...Blue House got a new boy captain,
Something which I always opposed,
And I lost a true friend,
A partner who was so very close.

May God give strength to your family,
To bear this terrible loss,
And everyday I pray for you...
And will till I breadth my last.

I cry silently,
I cry purposely,
I wonder why,
Friends are so sly.

How did they change?
Last night i knew them,
They were perfectly same.

But today they are gone,
Just because I cannot do,
Something wrong.

That false smile on their face kills me,
I cry, I cry and I cry,
Just preventing those tears to roll down from my eye.

And now i can no more lie,
True friendship is something,
Which I never will rely.
