254.Six little litters

Six little litters
All amazingly cute
Run helter skelter
In search of a cozy  shelter.

Six little litters
Escaping the chill
Of a cold wintry night
Bask in the morning sunlight.

Six little litters
Are faithful mates,
But are there any takers,
For these innocent home seekers?

253.Christmas

Christmas is over 
Today Santa lies discarded 
With no one searching for him
Accept the homeless urchins. 
The miniature Santa toy 
Bought on impulse 
From the hawkers
Has no takers but the urchins. 
The abandoned bright red caps
Strewn all over the street
Tells it's own story.
Luckily to beat the December chill
They are picked up with care
And adorn the urchins head. 
Now Santa would rest safe
On the dirty heads and untidy rags 
Till he deserts his poor takers
And ventures out next Christmas; 
Here he may not have plenty to eat
But there will be no
Dearth of love and care.

252.BLEAK TODAY

Shivering to their bones
Huddled on cold stones
Homeless gamble with life
As they burn biomass
To stop themselves
From turning into carcass.

In luxurios home we sit preaching
Realising little, sermons are easy
Reality crude.
How do we expect
Tomorrow to be bright
In the light of a BLEAK TODAY!

I burn the biomass
I am accused of polluting the air.
I am chased out of everywhere
I have yet to catch my breath.

I have no alternative
I am feeling numb
I need to rub
My hands and thumb.
Shivering on the cold stone
I huddle close to the fire
Wishing for it to engulf me.

I am not out here to kill
Torch me for  a bon fire tonight
Relive me from this battle to breathe.
I am not here to celebrate life.

Please do not preach
Sitting from your luxurious homes.
Sermons are easy
Reality crude
Don't expect your tomorrow to be bright
In the light of my bleak today
You must first improve my plight
For your better life ahead

251. Ventures

Staring at the empty space she realized
People invest only for gains
They rarely understand others pain.
Discarding others like over used rags
They never fail to cry or brag
How irrationally they have been penalized.
Encashing their experience
They give up
For their is no profit in musing over
And wasting time over bad ventures.

250. Sight (Haiku)

Fabulous sight
Lifts the veil after long
As mentors smile.

249. View (Haiku)

Captivating view
Rejuvenates life
Breathing life new.

248.Insane race (Haiku)

Insane race
Overtaking each other
Has caught pace.
