'Ka Batayein Mausi'

Ab ka batayein Mausi

"Will you speak or may I?"

Arre bolet rahin sasuri
Zarra mike ki tho awaaz badayein!

"Gao main hamar
aye hain sarkar.
ka parade lagi hain!
laga hain pandaal
Bhaashan hone wala hain shuru
zara dekhein tho
kauno hero bhi aa raha hain... bola guru
Acting tho sahib ab dekhenge
Neta sheta sab jum ke karenge

Boli meeti,uff! woh waade
Naare baazi main
Hum bhi kho jawe
Par Sarkar badal do
Ya Sapne dikha do
Sach kahith hain lalli
Na badle hain hum
aur na badle hain woh!

Hum tho chale roti banane
Aate honge lalli ke Bapu
Sarkar badle tho badle
Hum tho dharen rahenge hamar duniya main
Jo na badle...Sarkar badalne se!

'The Plunge'

What if I had never let go
What if I had held on
What if I had let fear rule
What if I had waited for another dawn

What if I had turned my back
What if I had remained afraid
What if I had heard that voice
What if I had just stayed

BUT

The 'what if' disappeared
and I took the plunge
My heart racing
and my whole body numb
Split second decision
and sweet victory was mine
What was I thinking??
I dont think I can define!

What if?
Now I know
That you never really achieve
Till you let something go
Faith leads and you follow
The gulp of fear
You swallow

I stood on that cliff
You maybe standing on one too
Just take that plunge
Surrender anew
The God who made that cliff
Created the water below it too!!

'Stones'

I'm drained out
fully exhausted
the only sound
that rings
is the roar
of a laughter
A laughter
that drains out
the still small voice
I hurl a stone
and then another
A shout now accompanies
the laughter
"Hurting people
throw stones"
Go on throw
one more!
Does it matter?
Must I go through this?
Days like years?
Conversations
replaying in my ears?

He stands there
laughing....
having the last laugh
How many times
will I falter?
How many times
will I sacrifice?
How many more
hurting words
will I hurl across
Will it be me
always
paying the price?


I hear you
I understand
You're hurt
You're angry and mad
You condemn yourself
and you blame
you pick up a stone
to throw again
I see you
I see David
crying for his
captured wives
the other men
ready with stones
ready to strike
everyone bitter
everyone sour
and David maybe
too listening to
a similar roar

The laughter
must have been loud
Distressing like yours
his pain,
of loss
of losing someone dear
the same
But he found
his strength
in ME
he drained out that
laughter
he made it fade away
he stood again
to face stones
if they should appear

I am here
I'll take that stone
I know your loss
I know your heart
I'm here and so
My still small voice
will drain
that laughter out
I am your
strength
I am your rock
You dont need
stones anymore
Your ears will
hear just me
and the devil
will laugh nomore


This is inspired from the life of a man called David.A man I love and can so relate to.For all those who follow this blog...well no he's not my husband or boyfriend or brother..no! He's not my pastor or father..He is a very special person in the Bible..( if you are running out of books or my blog boring you..get a Bible (the complete,not just the new testament) and read through the books of 1 samuel and onwards...i bet it'll keep you up!
This above is from 1 samuel chapter 30..."He found his strength in God"...
