A madman

Stopping by every passenger Begging for alms, I saw a madman Spreading his arms. With pity in his eyes Not pressing for coins Neither using single word He walked away holding his stocks. I did not feel pity; Just happened to have this thought, Would I be so at peace, like him, Had I been at loss. By- Vinod Regards, Vinod Jadhav

When I woke up in the middle of night

When I woke up in the middle of night, I saw my roommate sleeping in cold. I just saw it And tried to sleep again But I won't. That's when I took a stance To put my blanket over him And to wear my coat, Though it was old. Next morning when I woke up, I can see am much happier. Regards, Vinod Jadhav

When off from work

When off from work Am hung. Hung in the thin air Separating me and truth. I fly there Just above the truth Wishing to spend lifetime there, Wishing it was true. Well, truth embraces me so soon. Regards, Vinod Jadhav

Small people

Small people, Small quotes, Small worries. Small lives. Small people, Small stakes, Small dreams, Small issues. Small people, Worries about food, Discuss other people; Small people like them. Small people talk aloud, Of their small earthly possessions, And boast of their lands Amassed in their names. Small people with small views Have religion as their strength, Religion which they fail to understand, And follow to the full length. Small people thinks with shrunken head, The small thought; Spend lives worrying The money and what it bought. Small people have small notions, Their kids, their homes, Their lands and their small people, And seldom bigger than that. Well that's what makes them small, The thoughts. Regards, Vinod Jadhav

Now when I have money

Now when I have money, It's now I have learnt its worth, People are changing softly, People are valuing my word. Now when I have money, I am asked for money. It's now I feel I've grown It's now I am shown. Well, with money came The debts, The debts I had long forgotten, The debts that made me who I am. The time has come To payback, What I can pay in sum, And to get myself freed when I can.
