Why Do You Cry, Soldier?

Oh, why do you have tears in your eyes, soldier?
When for you all the people are standing to cheer.
Is it the death of your best friend in the war?
You know the future looks so good so far.
Or is it because when you were gone, your mother
In her sleep, left the world peacefully forever?
Oh why do you cry, strong soldier so silently?
Is it because your lass never wrote you a letter,
And when you return it has become bitter?
Because she married someone not waited for you,
And you lost your belief in love that’s true?
Oh, soldier, the tears you cry are flowing like a river,
The war has been fought and you are the winner-
None has more reasons to cry than you, my friend.
Scares are forever and will last till the end.

SPEAK UP: The World Is Coming To An End

We have seen the different signs of the world coming to an end. Just as we were told when we were kids, those signs are manifesting themselves. Not Sandra Bullock winning an Oscar or Merly Streep losing another, but others- the natural disasters that are happening around the world. And ironically enough, they seem to have started after the movie 2012. Now, if the world was going to end in 2012, we have got 2 more years to wait. Two more Oscar Awards, two more Grammy Awards- oh that's not all that is in life. Two more years to be with your friends and family, just two more years to travel around the world-and I haven't started yet!

The apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic movies are the talk of the day- and I should I enjoy them (The Road,Zombieland, The Zombie Diaries,2012,etc). I watch them so I can learn what to do if I was to survive the natural disasters or an atomic attack. But there is still two more years to work- two more years to get hurt -two more years to feel the pain-two more years to study-and so on.So, let's hope this happens fast.

The Little Balloon Girl

From my balcony a stair up I used to wait

A little girl who was so sweet to meet,

Ten or twenty, she carried but smiled ever,

A kid I was but my memories of her-

She wore an old frock neat and green,

With her balloons she looked like a queen!

She sold one or two but always contend,

She never roamed with any friend,

Never spoke but the balloons she said,

As if that was all she ever had.

She smiled at me an afternoon,

In the sun that was setting soon,

Her hand had a pink balloon,

We stared as if we were alone.

The bow in hair flew as if it didn’t care,

A life time love we shared in that stare,

Save the colors at their brilliance,

Every noise disappeared and silence,

Like taking everything you own in a flash,

The colors disappeared in a clash,

The driver was drunk I heard when I woke,

She was in her own blood soaked.

Just like the balloons our lives are,

Air blown and made us what we are.

My colorful little balloon girl,

You brought colors to my world.

SPECIAL: Air Of The Valentine's Day

Red hearts,love songs dedications, parties, gifts,wow, to celebrate love. Another year has come and everyone has gone jumpy on this day. Love to be celebrated- and this can be happened only if two people are in love. Give and return- that's love. And it can be between anyone and anything-as long as give and return take place. Otherwise, it could be just stupidity.

Don't say 'I love you' if you do not mind it. Because it hurts after Feb 14. And do not over-spend on gifts and other things, because your pocket feels empty the next day. If you are far away from each other, try to miss every moment and talk over the phone throughout the night, just to make them feel secured , you are there for them. And if you are single (for how many years, God knows) try to find someone the next year-not to celebrate Valentine's day with, but to give and given love.

SPEAK UP: CRICKET AND SWIMMING

Fancy a world where you have to be armed, protected and be alert all the time-a world where you do not have friends and cannot trust your parents even. Now, fancy a sport that you enjoy. Cricket. It is a game millions love to watch and play. But I find cricket a very boring, lazy game. You have to be armed, protected and be alert all the time. Why play something if you think that it may hurt you? You not only have to cover your face but your crotch too. What I want to say is, why not play a game where you are not afraid to be harmed or hit? Swimming. It's a game people play almost naked. And that is absolutely something to be enjoyed.

POEM: DREAM LOVER

Lost my faith
A rose trampled by your feet,
Ocean of love, whispering your name
With every movement of the wave till the shore
Just like that I would, till I die.
Seen the eternal flame,
And the feeling that’s so pure
All truth and no lie.

Not your friend,
But will be there always contend
Not when you are happy with all smiles
And when with other friends, I will not be there,
But when you are sad,
Alone but have to go on miles,
I’ll be just standing, wanting to be needed near,
As if by fate.

Wrote a song,
A melody I haven’t heard in long
In my dreams you love me every night,
Distance that keeps us apart but just like the moon
The rays that fall upon me a blessing forever.
This life is but a fight,
But I know this will be over very soon,
And just like my dream, you’ll be my lover.

SPEAK UP: TIGER WOODS' NEW YEAR

No matter how big and famous you are, one day you are going down like hell. Yes, the Tiger Woods' scandal is the most highlighted news for 2009 and followed through 2010 and it will follow him throughout his life. Poor him. He obviously thought he would escape unseen and unheard but things do not go the way we want always. I wonder how many famous people must have learnt a lesson not to trust hookers and mistresses because for money and fame everyone just opens their mouth. David Beckham escaped a little bit hurt and shaken and we have no idea what is going on now. However, we are definitely now sure that no matter how good 2009 was for Tiger Woods, it ended bad and no matter what 2010 brings in-it started bad.
