Repeated chants
Fill the air
Menacingly
Two sides of the same coin
Finding, fighting
That elusive love
That bond that binds
Despite the odds against

The devil
The naughty devil
The damsel
The oh so sweet damsel
Irritated, inquisitive
Admiration grudgingly
Then love
Of course not without the hiccups

Young lovers
Underaged girl, early twenties boy
Rich girl, middle income family
Poor boy, ordinary folks
Unlikely
But it happens
The physical trysts
The laughter and smiles
Missing each other
But when it comes to the crunch
Young minds are not ready
To face reality
Responsibility
As it takes two to tango
What can be done when you are alone
Left bereft, unsupported
To face the world, the powerful
Reasoning
Does not carry any weight
The mind just do not register
The gravity of the situation
Then all hell break loose

Prayers for Bobby
Details imdb
Seen 7 March 2010
A mother's concern
Thinking that she is doing right
Leads to unhappiness
Despair
Guilt builds up
Whereas love is needed
Understanding
Compassion
Support
Until it is too late
Discovering that a little effort
Will and can
Make a difference
That starts the new resolve
Even though it is painful
Bewildering
Accepting an alien, strange notion
Different from your norm
Conviction and belief
It is love that anchors it all
It is love that will show the way
It is love that is needed
That child needs love

Are there differences
Between past and present
Between rural and urban
Between old and new
Man still go through life
Feeling
Moving
Caring
The background
Changes
The players
Similar
A discovery
A revelation
Leads to other avenues
Paths and roads
Gravitating, pulling
Enticing to an unknown
That has always been
Man's fate and destiny
Encountering anew
Facets of life
Unknown before
Familiar now
Mundane it may be
But that is reality
Everyone goes through
Again and again
Just a question of love

Is there a right time and moment
To tell, inform and declare
That you love someone
Family and friends
May not understand
You yourself
Might not be ready
Circumstances
Takes its course
You are just thrown
Into the deep end
You struggle
To take a deep breath
You flounder
To surface again
That love of yours
Is strong
Despite the hurdles
Love will overcome
Love will surmount
The barriers
The prejudices
With love
Facing the world
Seems a lot easier

Forgive and forget
Forgive and move on
Or
Do not forgive
Keep the anger aflame
Hate and remembrance
Scars
Physical
Emotional
Festering wounds
When will it heal
There must be a time
When push comes to shove
We must face the bogeyman
We must
We must
No two ways about it
Those in the past
Remain there
We are now in the present
And we live and breathe
Carry on
There is a future

Wealth and power
The lethal combination
Will it guarantee
One's survival
Does the privileged few
Have the right
To pick and choose
Or should humanity
Be the deciding factor
Ethical conundrums
The bottom line
Mankind
Is made up of many parts
Each a cog
Plays its part
In the bigger picture
Opposite forces
Different wants
Must join forces
Control
Overcome
Adversity
What come may
With the ultimate aim
Survival

A homecoming
Welcomed?
Not quite
Past events
Colour
The present
But blood is thicker than water
The past
Are memories
The present
Is reality
The years
Has changed
Many
People, places
Retain the past
Look forward
To a brighter future?
Only time will tell

Gold diggers, beware
However sharp
The instrument
It must always
Be remembered
Can cut both ways
Power struggles
Between the sexes
Between classes
The monied
The poor
Dreams of riches
May have been attained
But it may be gone
In a blink of an eye
If those riches
Depends on the vagaries
Of others
Decide
Take control
All efforts
Are not in vain
But might even
Bring more
Satisfaction
Just rewards

Seen 5 October 2009
Two stories of love, longing, separation
What might be
If all happened according to plan
But is life without the other any different
Is the other's presence really significant
Or do we just accept, adjust and carry on with life
Irregardless of the feelings
Those emotions
Felt strongly before
Still has a place in our hearts
Even now

Is love incompatible with your beliefs
Of course not
The belief in the compassionate, the all loving
The elders will always maintain
The book says the act is wrong
The act?
Elaborate
The love?
Surely that is permitted
The debate continues
The struggles, persecutions
Some escape, some meet a fate
Inhuman
There will always be those
Who wants to control whom you love
Who wants to dictate the ways of love
Why is that so
The lovers
That is their wish
To share with someone
That love
But nay
You must follow just one path
It has been decided for you
If you do not agree, it will be at your own peril

Video DJ? Not
This is reality
Events not meant to be seen others
The all powerful big brother
Encompassing everything
Power
To be retained at whatever cost
Even against the grain of
The long held tradition
Of belief and respect
Gone
For those dedicated in the service of a higher calling
Enough is enough
There are always limits
But the guns always win
What can bare hands do
Against such onslaught
This is a long battle
With countless victims
Will it all be in vain
Persevere
You will come through

Four stories
Women stories
The age old prejudices are still there
Misconceptions, ignorance
Unwillingness to accept facts
Perpetuating certain beliefs
Using tradition and religion, continuity
As excuses
Supposedly
Protecting
Keeping the women safe
That is the men's view
What of the women
When will they ever be treated as equals
