The New Year

The year is new, like it was never before
Aspirations stunning , and strides bold
Undercurrents are sweeping the filth ashore
The air is full of meaning and promises galore

Status- quo does not satisfy anymore
Common is no more common henceforth
Exclusiveness has outlived its hold
Rusty wisdom has found its home

Louder is the chorus as it grows
Skeptics are left wondering sore
Such enthusiasm was never seen before
Destiny, it appears, has wrung the life’s chord

Goodness shines like never before
Crookedness will not pay anymore
Bright and honest have new hope
To change things like never before                              

Can anyone miss the play on show
When wisdom, hearts and spirits flow
Morality and polity are no more foes
Truth and honesty impregnate every pore


This year brings newness as was never before
Hope is all wings, and high it soars
Wickedness makes haste to hide in its hole
Promises sprint assured, to touch the goal!

  3. Posting a picture with a poem would make the blog post more interesting but if you copy a picture from the net ensure that it is copyright free and also give its link at the bottom, or if you have a picture you have snapped yourself then it is obviously copyright free for you and you can add it to the post. A good place for copy right free images on the net is wikipedia commons another is publicdomainpictures.net

    2. Entirely my pleasure Khurana, You already have a great collectionof poetry from the past including one I shared on facebook earlier and perhaps you could post them one at a time. Would really like to see a picture with each poem to brighten it up. Do try wikipedia commons images (you would find the link in google) for copyright free images. Some are and some have restricted use. One can then right click on it, save it on one's computer and post it into the post by editing.

    1. Dear Ashok ji,You judged it right.What has happened is akin to Independence movement.Even seen apolitically, the tempo of the movement has to be kept up , and brought to its ultimate culmination.India is shining again,and brighter this time.
      I thus totally agree with your views.
