 Tell Me Please

 

I’ll ask you till the end                                                                                                                                                    

Why innocents killed?                                                                           

Why little girls raped?

Why is the world

not properly shaped ?

You the king,

We are subjects

You are responsible,

for all fouls and facts.

  Can’t handle it more?

Then resign and relax.

Who told you to create this mess?

Where life bleeds and Shaitan takes leads?

Where is the might of Almighty?

When will you come?

To done the undone?

When there be peace prevail?

And we all proudly hail

This is our God,

The King of the kings

Or we should believe

What Browning states

“God’s in His Heaven

All’s right with the world!”

LIFE :A COLON;

life 

When I sit and think

life seems a blink

A single second

merely beginning and end

Rest is, too waste

A COLON 

That marks a new beginning

Has itself no meaning

No use.

As a bulb fuse

People talk a lot

Subtract and add

Finally a zero

No Villain

No hero

Just a vowel

To fill the space

No sound

No grace

May be proud

May regret

Truth is one

Get it save

All paths of glory

leads to grave.

Sir

Through the esteemed column of your newspaper I  Shailendra kumar wish to express my concern on the Global Warming. It is one of the most trending subjects in the world but unfortunately nothing has been done to cure this problem .as a result the problem is increasing day by day.

The effect of this problem is really alarming. It is high time to think and act otherwise this will turn into crises.

There are so many causes responsible for it. The first one is the lack of concern on the part of the government and the people. The second one is the ------------------------------------------------.Next ---------------------------------------------is responsible for this problem.

 To tackle this problem we have to take some very solid steps. First of all we have to make people aware about the problem .This should be made a issue in the election so that all the political parties are bound to do something about it. Schools are the place where we nurture our future generation ,students and the teachers  should be  sensitize on this issue. We must remember that every problem has a solution what we need is the action and determination.

Yours faithfully
