Is tomorrow "It"???!


So tomorrow is supposedly the day that the world is going to end.  Amidst all the discussions (mostly mocking the event-that-is-to-be!), I thought it only apt to list out some of the very few things (off the top of my head) that remains to be seen/done/achieved. And should the end really be tomorrow, then they shall forever remain just visions, hopes and dreams!

But just a random thought here – Of course there are things that are yet to be. But if the world ended not tomorrow but ten years down the line (or even a hundred), there would still be things that would be yet to be!!! Wouldn’t there???!!!!!!!





















There are so many things that are yet to be!

There is no knowing, what the future holds;
The past is full of stories, tomorrow is untold;
But if, as they say, the end is indeed near;
Then there is reason to now ponder;
For all the years that the earth has seen;
There are so many things that are yet to be!

Life on the moon and finding new stars,
Maybe even settling a community on Mars;
Trivialising distance, nothing too far;
Revolutionising travel, making faster cars;
Discovering and innovating, through science and insight;
Is there time enough so these visions see light?!

A world that’s free from barriers of colour and race;
Where the poor and weak don’t have to hide their face;
Where power lies not in money or might or lineage;
Where merit is rewarded, not exploited and savaged;
A world of happy people, a world of caring hearts;
For a world as old as ours, is that too much to ask?

There are stories waiting to be told, battles waiting to be won;
Much has been planned and said, that’s waiting to be done;
Mysteries unsolved, damages uncared,
Scars and wounds, open and bare
Who’s to answer, who’s to repair?
Is there time enough to heal all that’s there?

Till next time (and hopefully soon!), from slo, it's tally-ho :)

Life's like that :)

Back after a hiatus with a poem on my favourite subject of all time - LIFE!!

Life's like that!!!

A winding road or an uphill climb;
Obstacles or surprises, known or blind;
Grass or rocks, soft or stony,
Life's like that, an adventurous journey! 

Crests and troughs, ripples and waves;
Highs and lows, nights and days;
Wings and shackles, joys and troubles;
Life's like that, a complete circle!

Plus or minus, debit or credit;
Right or wrong, money or merit;
Here or there, right or left;
Life's like that, a constant test!

Hit or miss, win or loss;
Gathering speed or gathering moss;
Race or goal, game or catch;
Life's like that, a funfilled match!

Avenues and landscapes, paths and caves;
People and creatures, emotions and palates;
Logic and magic, real and reverie;
Life's like that, a voyage of discovery!

Yesterdays and tomorrows, wishes and hopes;
Fear and delight, anticipation and remorse;
Memories and visions, plans and schemes;
Life's like that, an ongoing dream!

Sugar or mint, pepper or salt
Spices and condiments, sweet and hot;
Dry curry or bubbling merry
Life's like that, a fragrant potpourri! 

An adventurous journey, a circle complete;
A constant test or a funfilled match;
A voyage of discovery, an ongoing dream;
Life's a potpourri of all of these!!!

So much for now. Till next time, from slo, it's tally-ho!! :) :)
