REMEMBERING " HIROSHIMA "

WAR :DEATH AND AFTERMATH
[Remembering HIROSHIMA of Post WORLD WAR II]

The War ,at last, ends
Whichever way now look
deaths in thosands dis-membered , burnt
charred or crushed
all around dwellings are turned to ash
as the WAR does end.

Whether a Victor or Victim , now
you repent and weep , the either side
Now you sign for peace
now you want to wash clean , -with helpess tears
you the victor or the sufferring victim -find
the Demonic War does end.

Better, take your stock or- count and feel
all around the dead, and melting mounds
the maggots, countless crowd and crawl
patrify or pitrify all your hopes and dreams
whether you win or lose
only the warring Stage does win in final count
You both and all your allies are
only the actors or pawns
on the Stge of WAR AND DEATH !

My Thoughts and my Poems

Saturday, August 7, 2010
DEATH - IS A LIE
Death is a lie
I, now, know - I shall not die
It is a 'play - the unique myriad whim of Divine.
There is no Death , -only change or transcendence
or some endless re-cycling device of re-appearance
That singular 'Player' ,step by step, descends
under the whim of that only ONE !
who himself is trapped by SELF-Design -like
where the Sun-rises,there it sets again.
That lone player designed to play ITS game
with endless mystic points of conscious move
where no one dies - and because
it is a singular Dream that never breaks 1

That you were born , - is also a Lie
you are also the descending ray and Conscious part
of that Game !
Desire to rise, - or climb beyond ?
Return to thyself and rest within
without noise or movemrnt but only contemplate .
