Do you want me to
pluck the stars and
gift you for making
your Necklace?

Do you want me to
pick the Crescent and
gift you for wearing
as your Pendant?

Do you want me to
bring the Sun and
gift you for using
as your Lantern?

Do you want me to
get the Comet and
gift you for playing
as Diwali Rocket?

Do you want me to
cut the firmament and
gift you for stitching
your raiment?

Come on my wife
The bright light of my life
What do you want, tell me
The sky is my Fancy store
I can get anything from there for your fun-fare
But, don't ask me any Sari or jewelry to wear
Sorry, this common man can't afford to bear!

the time before I leave for the sky...
I want you to be by my side...
explore with me round the corners of the earth...
to touch the zenith, reach for the stars.
I want to win the love of my people...
who once misunderstood me, defeated me...
took me wrong in every way...
which I never wanted in their eyes to be.
the ones who cheated me a very day...
I want to show them who am I, what am I now...
make them feel guilty...
want them their heads to bow.
Assassinate the evils who harrassed me ones...
expose them in front of all in the road...
ceaselessly keep on torturing them...
until and unless they fall on my foot.
unending wishes I have in my heart...
my soul unless will survive behind the bars...
the time before I leave for the sky...
I want to have all, which was never mine.

Strawberry Fields Forever

(To All the Farm workers)

 

As the early light melts away the morning dew

There are strawberry fields forever awaiting you

 

Your morning preparations

Daily routine operations

 

You put on your surgical gloves

To protect the softness that your husband loves

 

You slip on your knee pads as if armor

In a fight against mother earth, you don’t want to harm her

 

Your bonnet carefully tied down

As your knees kiss the ground

 

Berry crates stacked skyscraper high

Balanced carefully an architect would cry

 

You search fruitfully through green leaves for little red

You’ll find him with his brothers, exactly where he went to bed

 

A little blush but ready for your hand

Ready for succulent lips through the land

 

You run out to meet the morning sun

Race it across the horizon till you done

 

Your hands slice through plants like a veg-o-matic

You know only one speed, that’s automatic

 

The more baskets you fill

The more your children spill

 

But their laughter keeps them safe and sound

As they frolic in the fields, the daily playground

 

Today’s crop is plump and ripe

The Japanese foreman won’t have a gripe

 

As he passes by you stand and take a bow

Respect for the opportunity to place sweat on your brow

 

The day is hot and the day is long

But the heart is open and the back is strong

 

The sun changes its angle and a breeze sweeps in

Gently massages an a aroma into your skin

 

A smile out duels a frown

As aching bones rise from the ground

 

The trucks are loaded and to the cooler they go

Welcome to America and be part of the greatest show

A great beauty has passed from this life.
Of good times and sometimes toil and strife.
Some will say that she went to a better place.
Look at the blue sky or a white cloud, you will still see her face.

Movements like those of a gazelle in flight.
Hair that shone like gold on a moonlit night.
Eyes that could touch your soul.
And essence like that of a red rose.

Farrah, you fought hard to stay here on earth with us.
But when God calls you, go you must.
Whenever we feel a summer breeze or april rain.
It will seem like you are near.
And in our hearts, your memory will always remain dear.

A star has been plucked from the sky.
The sky is now dimmer.
It happened on June 25th.
A day, we will always remember.

Never again to see Michael's smile light up the skies.
Never again to see him moonwalk across the stage as his fans cries.
Never again to hear him sing Billie Jean.
To the roaring sound of his fans' screams.

A brother of the sun has been taken away.
But in our hearts his music will always stay.
Michael Jackson will now dance among the clouds.
And in the heavens, you will still hear him singing loud and proud.
