River (Haiku)

River immerses 

Engulfing hard toiled farm lands

Fishy smell chokes us.

Sagacity Takes a Back Seat

When preachers fail to practice ABCD of what they preach

Segacity takes a back seat.

When recommendations comes without knowledge of content

Segacity takes a back seat.

When decisions are  taken blindly to please the egoes and warm pockets

Segacity takes a back seat.

When inclusiveness is a mere word delivered in speeches

Segacity takes a back seat.

When discrimination on the basis of gender, attire, wealth persist

Segacity takes a back seat.

When education literally fails to educate

Segacity takes a back seat.

When people stream relentlessly like lemmings headed over a cliff

Segacity takes a back seat.

Lotus

Time will conduct tests.

Bloom despite the odds and gloom

Live like the LOTUS.

Masks

Horror looms unbashed

Masks meticulously mask

Bowled stands life.

Plastic

How do we drive out?

It marches in with galore.

Nasty PLASTIC, stays!

Camouflage (Haiku)

Check the camouflage 

Ruins speak the unspoken truth

Innocent succumbs.

510.Classroom (Limerick)

Schedules on Team, Google and Zoom,

Have left teachers alone in a room.

Calender shows them busy

Screen time makes them feel dizzy,

P/Maa plays prodigy in this classroom!
