'The world is myself; life is myself'. - Wallace Stevens

...
With a Methodist hymn in his musical throat,
The Sun was emitting his ultimate note;
His quivering larynx enwrinkled the sea
Like an Ichthyosaurian blowing his tea;
...
Fiscal Conservatism
Blatantly destroying
Social consciousness
While piously drawing
...
I am a coffin,
I am the dark knots of wood
That cover the rotting corpse,
And horrors of death.
...
Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,
...
Conservatism is the process
That admits not anything first.
Religions are kept alive
Solely on conservatism.
...
A Bihari fool,
Dressed in clumsy white dhoti and kurta,
With a tikki,
A clamp of hair

Mulk Raj Anand,
Say you, how to research you,
A novelist Indian
Whose novels read not the Indians,

Politics the game…of smoke and mirrors
…..Reverend Wright…..Obama's wrong
Scalise..the pride…of Dukedom's hour
Hypocrites caught-up in yesterday's song

What Wordsworth terms “our ancient Dower, ”
describing heritage of Britain,
has faded like the fresher flower
of the USA. Unwritten

HE DO POLITE IN DIFFERENT VOICES
He do polite in different voices,
...
Life starts with meeting
and fusion of sperm and ovum
forming a single celled zygote
in mother's womb.
...
I'm tired of tradition's arcane ways;
That merely keep everyone in their place.
I'm tired of the archaic monarchy.
It is now merely empty pageantry.
...
Bhagjogini, my small daughter, where are you,
A countryside goril,
Brorn and brought in the villages
Of far flung hamlets and thorps,
...
Don't rock the boat,
Don't run the risk,
Don't risk your neck,
I was said into the ear, over and over again,
...
Our God is, 'neither a conservative nor a liberal.' He has followers in both camps! Therefore, God also must have followers within the moderate camps as well! 'Conservatism is not Christianity! ' Therefore neither is Patriotism! Because neither conservatism nor patriotism can take the place of genuine Christianity!
Both sides are guilty of being filled with both resentment and pride towards their opposite sides! God would want both polarized political points of view! Instead to show kindness and compassion towards one another! After all are we not all brothers and all sisters within the body of Christ! We should not let different political points of view to cause divisions among-st all of us!
...
The fanatics and conservatives
With their medieavlaism
And conservatism,
Bigotry and orthodoxy
...
America if it has to sustain
And survive
The onslaught of medievalism and conservatism
In terms of terrorism
...
If this be the case,
Why haven't we been able to eradicate
Fanaticism,
Conservatism and orthodoxy,
...
I stood still to watch and see they were gathering to fire and shell
On the Bamiyan Buddhas
With mortars, shells, guns, axes and hammers
...
It is not his Catholicism,
But his intuition
Which matters it more,
Not the fatherly shown path
...
Religious fanaticism is some sort of madness
And it cannot be cured of,
As it lies tucked in fundamentalism and conservatism
And it is only logic and reasoning,
...
The world has greatest fears from the fanatics,
The religiously blind people,
The sons and daughter of conservatives and the orthodox,
It does not matter whether they are educated or not,
...
Aurangzeb, may I,
Many I Aurangzeb,
Why,
Why did you
...
Those who can fire on the Buddhas,
The Bamiyan Buddhas
Can definitely
On the innocent school children,
...
He is producing one child after another
And saying,
God is giving,
The Giver of it,
...
History of human thought
And its development,
How to charter the course?
...
Jinnah,
You could not love your only daughter,
Dinu Wadia
Just for your Miangiri,
...
Step Across This Line is actually
The lectures, speeches, columns,
Thoughts, ideas and opinions
Of Salman Rushdie
...
Women, women,
Women of Iran,
Iraq,
Turkey,
...
Your shayrana andaz
For Burkhawalli
I appreciate and admire it,
But your conservatism
...
May I know,
Why are the daughters
So ignored and neglected
In our society?
...
The religious crusades, victory of the bloody sword, blasphemy laws, patriarchal hegemony, purdah system, gender bias, parochial outlook, conservatism have done so much harm to society.
...
What will they in throttling them,
Toning them down,
Suppressing the movement,
Shooting them dead,
...
You are born from the womb
Of the same woman
And you are shooting them,
Firing upon,
...
(Spiro T. Agnew Looks In A Mirror)
Tea party’s lasting epitaph
The “walking dead” today
...
Although we love the power of invective,
considering messages when words are kind
and decent overwhelmingly defective,
we should avoid it if we aren’t frontlined.
...
When empty, a parenthesis
provides mysterious emphasis;
when filled, you wonder whether
the contents weigh more than a feather.
...
“The gut is not the seat of wisdom but
it is the bottom line, ” declares the gut.
“What happens in the brain may not be felt
in lower areas below the belt, ”
...
Smooth and amiable, opaque,
with facades like scrims, genteel,
my friends are ones you ought to take
unseriously, and for a meal
...
Confounded from all of the confusion
Between that of wrong and right
I found myself firmly enslaved
By the political correctness
...
Rush, Keep Tazing Them Liberals Bro!
Wake them liberals from their drug induced
Pot smoking medical marijuana stupor
Keep rattling their dirty cages
...
Wisdom emerges from philosophy,
and folly from a loss of e-
quilibrium when leaving home,
which is when we begin to roam
...
In Tel-Aviv they’re eating calamari
under nighttime skies as starry
as eyes of those who run like Jonah
from reality, with Barcelona

Unusual.
Peculiar and odd.
Strange, weird and unpredictable.
And...
...
Politics…..as witnessed
…Once intricacies discerned
All things…….considered...
And dire facts confirmed
...
Compliment…well taken
Once considered the source
Belligerence…its constant
…As a matter of course
...
...Genocidal....toward the Indian
Centuries enslavement of Negroes
...Holocaustic minds...itself defined
Christianity basking in its throes
...
Hypocritical Evangelicals
......Historically....balk
At criticizing political perpetrators
.......Of sexual assault
...
Established fact...indeed the Right
..Stink bereft….as does the Left
Conservatism...but the Liberal
…Mutually engaged at collective theft
...
As she watches me, split the pages
with her exacted, the blade trades places,
with the paper.
She appreciates my frugal, conservatism.
...
it is coming quietly on fingers
it isn't dancing at least a waltz
dimmed with dimness of the cloudy day
written down into the meant wheel of fortune
...
James Bredin and Kaneix they both write with a passion though they hold quite a different point of view
And both of them stick to what they believe in since I should know for I am that way too
Of the World wide web the most political poets and on politics they mainly seem to dwell
But to their credit they have great potential as true potential is never hard to tell.

At the festering corner of Boston and Queen
The Tasty Chicken House clings through May
to its Christmas tinsel, and is not long for this world.
Sanctioned colour murals under bubble script tags
...
Conservatism’s ideology
Is static. For that reason, everything
It touches stagnates and thus decays.
We live in a universe that expands:
...
Bitter rancor hide the silhouetted against the moon
Silence came and stood constraint in the room
Without the music, a mirage of dream murals the mind
Sanity drifted in vacuum unaccustomed decline
...
in the absence of clouds,
under the united nations,
a crowd gathers

When man refused to trust
The mind enslaved in dark ages
Needed softened light
From the droped window pane

We are born with a natural will to survive-
As we grow, this becomes our primary drive.
We begin our lives, always asking “ WHY? ”

The man in love with a goat, in bed, will still talk about it.
The man in love with a goat will have the goat's presence there with him in bed, like a ghost, like Helen of Troy.

We are born with a natural will to survive-
As we grow, this becomes our primary drive.
We begin our lives, always asking “WHY? ”

Thou has become the connectivity,
No nations could penor execise,
People in universe communicate
Without ties or visas, and save
...
In Kerala's land, where palm trees sway,
A society once bright, now fades away.
Beneath the surface of scenic bliss,
Lurks shadows of regressive abyss.

How does it feel Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jack Straw,
Alistair Campbell, Margaret Beckett, Alistair Darling,
...
I am a conservative,
And I am Republican,
And these are my political beliefs.

Stalinism Maoism Communism suppressed
Many evil isms for my brain to digest
Fascism Nazism under our spell

My "skeletal" beginnings

This International Women's Day, I felt a wave of nostalgia for my engineer past
And came out with a gastronomist endeavour

The nature of our spiral nebulae or Milky Way,
is the size of our universe from where we stay.
Believing that our nebulae is relatively small,
Astronomer Curtis declared a far bigger call.

As a violet, I picked you up,
Reverently, placed you upon the pulpit,
Hopefully, one day, you would flourish
And yield wildflowers' incense.
...
my creations, my hard work
don't color
And me! get tired
lose and fall apart
