Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Keep a critic close by on guard,
Build his cottage in your courtyard,
Water does he need, nor yet soap,
Cleanses your conduct, hangs dry on rope.
...

You get up one
Fine early dawn,
A little before
Your daily day dawns,
...

Oh this virus, consumerism,
King there is, nor rule, only kingdom.
And there's all-grabbing greed,
People buy beyond need,
...

Economy may need some large dope,
Yet, green shoots I see show some sure hope,
Need there's none to worry,
Such is future's glory,
...

It matters. You work hard to cater
To mankind's future getting better,
And make a cyber-truck
But when its glass is struck,
...

Speak such soft soothing words, no crude,
Words that help lose self pride for good,
Words that keep you in cool mood,
Make others as well feel good.
...

Thine intellect, now in a perplexed state—
To this or that of doctrinal writ,
In shackles as holy books interprit,
Gets when steady, at rest, standing still,
...

Report card being great nor yet good,
He was still far from one who would brood.
So, whack when the punishing cane came,
All unmoved, he watched a video game,
...

And he jumped in full cheer,
Sipped water as if beer,
It's very frogs' being,
What's so new with leaping?
...

O Conqueror of wealth,
Abiding in yoga do every deed,
In no way cleaving to fruits that may seed,
Alike in success or failure,
...
