Title: Role of almighty Change
Change is the driving force
To push time towards future course.
In slow evolutionary process
Change comes with soft steps
To align with socio-cultural stages
Just as flowing blood in the body parts
To hold the social nerves without upheavels;
Capable to pervade and sustain long ages.
But most religious and political changes
Are caused by revolutionary process;
Arises by mass dissatisfaction or evil’s instigation;
They come occuring war, death and decay,
Rock and knock the socio political structure
To set up new one; not conscious of the potential blunder,
Both for human and the whole living race !
But the Avatar Time, like blind bulldozer
Crushes all except rolling of New changes.
Nothing left stale ,still, or stagnant in the universe.
We must be ready to accept equally
The“Change! “ whether black or brazen
Like peace and horror, joy and sorrow ,day and night!

Blockage for aspiring Writer: ' mother fu........r ' words= 627
[Main Characters Rasul, aamir, Saheb]] police, 2 seniors
Saheb reached central park little earlier; so he sat on a bench near the big golden statue, waiting for his friends Rasul and Amir.
He took out the satiric fiction' 'Hacker- mocker' from the side bag. But his attention from the fiction was stolen towards a young couple who were walking with hands locked to each other lovingly. He gazed at them minutely unless he got a slap on his back by Amir .
He turned back startled!
Amir asked , " what are you looking so romantically my friend?
You are absolutely duped! It is wrong what are you thinking !.....
They are gay couples, male-partners !"
Saheb: "No, no. On the left side is a hot female one : nice figure, delicate style of walking! She,She ,definitely‘she!’Can never be a male ….I am really little attracted to them......!"
Amir- "Because you get only the back view, front-view is tractor -ridden-plain-landscape without any wave in the body!"
Saheb:" You are also getting the same view as me! What makes you to understand otherwise?
Amir. " I can understand easily from the walking style!"
Saheb "Then let me know that is that ‘style’? "
Amir, "One who will walk like 'corgi-dog' with heavy swaying butt, is sure to play female partner among the gay couple!"
Saheb took a last look of disappearing 'corgi-butt'.
Saheb: "Amir, I am interested to witness the swaying butt of an actual corgi dog."
Amir burst into laughter !
"OK. Queen Elizabeth has 5 Corgi dogs! We will enjoy Friday night on the Netflix show of the "Queen" episode !"
Amir added farther ,"I feel their butts are so funny as they walk !"...
Saheb with dreamy look said, "I am waiting with excitement for Rasul to come with my "manuscript"of first novel. His friend got some odd job in a small Publishing House . I have handed over my manuscript to him two weeks ago."
"From my school life my goal of life was to be a writer, a successful writer ! Rasul gave me that hope of life ! I am so grateful to him !" ......................
Amir did not reply. He knows well that how much crafty Rasul is enough to give false promise!.........
"Lo, he has come!"
Saheb looked at Rasul with great hope.
But to his disappointment Rasul conveyed ,
"I'm so sorry Saheb!"
My friend in publishing House complained that amidst 380 pages of the manuscript nowhere mentioned the word 'fuck' which is a ‘must’ in any fiction of the modern western literature!
I advised you repeatedly to put in the story enough 'spice' which means cocktail of raw sex with slang words and vulgarity ; otherwise theme or plot is not enough to attract general readers, understand?
To become 'best seller' in US Publishing Houses you must pack some juicy matter like illicit gossip, rape , 'fuck' in several chapters!...hmm...
Such a novel without salt or spice will never be published in this country. Rasul threw the rolled manuscript in disgust from his side bag on the ground!
Saheb with insulted red face started to pickup scattered pages of the manuscript and murmured in contempt :
“ …it is a story of single mother struggling to bring up her children to respectable position in society....” Rasul snatched the dialogue by stopping Saheb.
Eureka ! got it ,said excitedly.
.... Why arn't you adding 'Motherfucker'? …………..
It's mother-fucker!...perfect to fit.
"Saheb , Try, try again using the word 'mother-fucker!'
........................................
Two elderly women passed them with walker little ago ; they turned heads from little far to hear the slang word "fuck". From the opposite side a police van was coming and was stopped by those women.
Amir said to Rasul, "we will be arrested by the police for you! Look the women seemed to complain something about us to the police !"
Watching it Rasul hurried them,"Let us leave this place quickly by taking nearest subway stairs !"……………..

Autumn: [ Season with Nature.] [Sonnet ]
The sun bunks early from the sky
As the Autumn steps on the earth ;
The leaves on plant tremble in the air
With cold and fear;.. red and yellow colour
Add beauty to console but not to live longer!
Some dry leaves heap around their mother plant
While other are scattered hither and thither
It is fun to watch the whirling leaves by wind ;
The troupe of leaves in colorful gown
Run dancing, as if, after some invisible pied piper
Like crazy mob or unruly kids to enjoy fun fair !
The barren skeleton of mother plant staring dumb,
Look for butterfly to come, meet and mate,
For right season with patience and confidence awaits,
To bear new fortune with leaves, fruits and flowers.
LAST STOP :
Lines-23 sipra Roy
Every beginning is followed by closing ceremony,
Boom and bust in finance regulate overall destiny,
It pervades in every spec of the earth,
All phenomena come under same physical path .
In the prohibited Garden of Eden
Information technology is the latest dragon
Instead of single bite /or byte
The whole apple has been swallowed
Future generation with barren brain need to borrow
From them whatever they need to know:
What seed is left after the global rampage ,
For the future as product of knowledge?
Where to seek the holy seed
In North pole Svalvad or Microsoft git-hub?
What will happen if it is destroyed by some raging comet!
Will our beloved earth be empire of sphinx or chimera
Or will be ruled by some alien from other planet?
Will the story of Adam, Eve and snake
Finally would take refuge only in Bible’s page?

Secret Enemy ( Poem)
W=156 lines=25
I overhaul my life in search of secret dragon
Who keeps me restless by chasing all along
I dissect the emotional sphere layer by layer
In the abyss of solitary lab of my mind,
Detected the larking beasts in me are 'hope and fear!
Scary fear in thorny cactus remains embracing me
While opposite side of dark tunnel flickering
Light of enchanting 'hope' mysteriously beckoning
To allure me by dream and flame of new life!
Driven by failure frustration, ambition or anger,
Bewildered ego sometimes aggressive but
Mostly submissive, optioned to surrender
Like a coward. I never struggled to win over!
I survived by neither courage nor wisdom,
But surrendering to social culture and custom
To mute two opposites forces: fear or hope!
Waves of time tackles the battle to keep balance.
Like a snail I sheltered under the shell of patience!
Sometimes surrender or patience are best weapons
To win over the emotional dragons !

MOUNTAIN > [ part-1]
The mountain, hard strong and stubborn
Stands still by its own, ages eon, not known
Since ages eon, he was still standing alone.
Sun, rain, wind throughout the season,
Failed to disturb him for long .
He was unaware that his body has crack!
One morning he was shocked but amazed
With the mystifying soft cooling touch,
Of some shiny silver-line of water
Melting down through his crack!
Curiously as he broadened his heart—
Instantly foamy snow-white ripples of stream
Poured down fluttering with new vitality,
And musical sound echoed all around;
The mountain yelled, ‘don’t leave me alone;
Stop going far, stay embracing me, darling!’
Giggling and bouncing answered the stream
‘My life is in flowing!’ how to share you
How much fun and romance lie ahead
To explore the pristine land, by cutting edge,
I’m never destined to be stagnant in one!
I can’t stop until I meet my beloved ocean.
The mountain could neither move nor yell
Only some pieces of rock dropped down
From his mournful cracked heart,
To be swept away by the flowing river!
The stream assured him humming as she running,
“I may come back to you some day,
If raging sun of summer elopes me
In the windy chariot of floating cloud
To be dashed against your lofty body
As shower of rain to calm you, rocky dear!
Though I’m not sure whether you or
Your brethren will give me shelter !
In silent pain the mountain remained mum
Only to swear silently, ’once you come back
I will captivate you in my deep heart
And never to be released at any cost .
MOUNTAIN [ Part -2]
Kind Nature kisses soothingly on
The crack of Rocky Mountain;
No sooner the cracks were covered
With mossy green, soft and velvet;
Rain showers to adorn the Valley of rock
To fulfill loving Nature's wish !
With timber at bottom and rich greenery.
Chirping birds gather to cheer up in the morning;
The peaks were crowned with silvery snow
To glitter so gorgeous with sun's reflection
To make envy even the heaven!
Nature consoles rocky in her lap
"Are you happy now, my son?
"your body is now covered with gorgeous green
The peaks glitter with silvery crown;
Wherever the 'restless 'stream flows down,
Bound to wash your feet first until to meet the end
Lots of stream may origin from your bosom,
To touch and worship your feet
You are no more alone, my son!
Always be with flora and fauna for fun.

In the evolution of civilization, there are some distinct landmarks. Among the most remarkable was shifting to agricultural life from that of hunter-gatherers': a giant leap; men became settler which in course of time, created the ownership of land: [ the root of all complications.]
Status of the dog also changed accordingly with the lifestyle of man. So long the pack of dogs moved with their tribe. Later on, some of them happened to belong to different individual masters, while some became stray dogs. But whether domesticated or stray, all of them were loyal by nature and adjusted in the community. A sense of duty 'to guard' and 'to protect' their masters' cause flowed in the DNA of their blood (no matter whether for individual or for the community).
In the old days, keeping dogs as a pet was popular mostly in European countries first and not in Asian countries, at least in India. In old picture or movie, it was very common to see a white sophisticated woman and a man with a suit, boot, tie, hat, stick and holding a dog in the chain on street or park or a dog peeping its head from the window of a car. The royal family of Britain were very much fond of the dog as a pet and still maintaining the tradition. Queen Elizabeth-11 has favorite four pugs.
In Europe, people could not take a shower throughout the cold season. There was no sunshine. People suffered from skin diseases. Dogs were kept to clean their bodies by licking; and relieved them from worms, itching and skin diseases. Dogs used to give the comfort of warmth and relief by licking with a soft tongue.
From the English literature, we can know how old was this tradition.
As the British set up colonies in various places, they influenced their culture also in those territories. But only wealthy and fancy people used to keep dogs as pets. In India, still, now, a number of stray dogs are random compared to pet dogs. These stray dogs survive on the left-over food from their neighborhood; they are night-guards, more loyal than salaried human beings.
In my neighborhood of India, I have noticed from the balcony the dogs seems lying idly but started howling and chased after, if any stranger, especially hawker passed through the lane. I am amazed to notice their sixth sense. The same type of behaviour, if any dog from another zone come near to them. They are very much territorial.
Anyway, my focus of this article is how the people,s perception has changed the status of the dog. So far the dog has been humanized; what will be next?
Will they be "divinized" also in the coming days? Egyptian sculpture portrayed god with the head of a dog and (also with the head of an eagle.)
Is civilization taking us backwards. ?

Reverted Pyramid
A Pyramid form of society in ancient time was better than the transformation of “revert” form of society ! Democracy is pushing towards that impractical imaginary dystopian future !‘
“we are all kings” can be sung with profuse emotion but doesn’t work well .
in practical life .
If we think society as a living entity , head comes on the top and never at the bottom !
Bats!
Poor bats; outlawed bats! I wonder why Nature is so cruel to punish them to stay by dangling heads downwards ; is it for breathing ?
……When human babies are born , the nurse hold their feet upwards ,like bats until they cry …[ may be breathing also ] !
In developed country the society tends towards reverted form of pyramid !

[Revival of Story-Telling,>. <AI ]
Recently I noticed the media is advertising a lot in support of story-telling.
I was thinking about it;
Our first literature throughout the world evolved as aural and oral that is :story-telling. Scripture or written version came long long after it. we came about to know the pre-historic life of our ancestors through story-telling; it passed through generation to generation and spread in from community to community.
.
The landmass of our planet was not same as we see it in present days. There were lots of drama:drama of destruction and new formation in this planet due to earthquake, volcanic eruptions, flood ,hurricane and other natural calamities In the last Ice-Age (perhaps 10 thousand years ago) demolished not only living creatures and plant life but also the then CULTURE and CIVILIZATION .As a result community scattered in different lands and the stories also moved with them but somewhat distorted or changed from the original ones due to different languages. Evidences of most oldest SCRIPTURES were composed not before 1500 BC to 2000 BC. i.e..3500to 4000 years ago from now.
Very recent, importance of story-telling and poems is yawning up from the slumbering tomb : a revival of bygone time !
Why? The social thinkers have got an alarming message of 'threat' for 'future' from the Artificial Intelligence[AI].
To Twitter, through Mirror . Sipra Roy. W=169/ L-29
"Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who is prettiest in the world?"
Twitter, Twitter surrounding the ether
Whom you prefer to be your master?
Do you wish to sing in your own voice,
Or to record other's like parrot,
Is your choice?
(If you have your own voice at all!)
The message by your mild strike to the keyboard
Make others dance or scream, howl and roar.
How long will you imitate
The parrot from the golden cage?
Cage is, after all, a bondage!,
Depriving freedom’
Whether be it of ugly iron
Or glittering gold !
Open the latch and fly high in the sky
To blow clarion call,
to the sleeping Minds ;
Not in a lullaby twittering tune!
Be aware of the immense power
That you can spell !
Don't give in yourself as
An article in the ‘auction sale’ .
Don't be a deer who behaves crazy
By the smell of musk ;
Unaware that the aroma
His own body spells!

HAMILTON PROJECT : March18/2024
#Poetry Prompt:
How much are you affected by death of near and dear ones.
Death!
When did you have your first sting!
I remember when I went college-hostel, leaving
Home. I often woke up with whimpering
At midnight ,kicked by nightmare : that Dad left me
For ever. For a long time I couldn’t imagine
To live without having parent.
When I was in my thirty’s my father left
In his own ancestor’s home
My cousin brother took me direct
To the burning spot where he laid,
With calm and cool peaceful face
Released from all mundane liabilities!
I touched for the last his icy-cold feet
Without a single drop of tear.
Since then I overcome fear of death.
I realized the fear of death is more
Painful than encountering actual Death!
TRIDENT sipra Roy
Law of evolution universally dictate three things:
Origin, Growth, Decay and a New beginning .
Do Words also bear the same destiny?
Words captivated eons as seed in emotional thought
Burst out from the womb of sound as spirit of god.
Only human being distinguished as the finest creation
Was endowed this divine device
To express manifestation.
Words culminating in language
Flew as juicy nectar
To enrich colourful multiple
Chambers of literature.
History,Philosophy, Science Art
And religion proliferated
To quintessential until
The social media, computer invaded.
With experiment of technology;
Human -machine hybrid flourished!
But organic growth of thinking power
Is adulterated and ceased.
Modern world was bewildered
with achievement acquired
By 'Artificial Intelligence and Robotics'
That turned us to 'intellectual pigmy'.!
It is high time to save our 'Originality'
From AI, the Giant Slayer !
To rescue the next generation to be
victim of Frankenstein the monster;
To protect with emergency our intellectual property
Stored in art music literature,
To stop all-pervading 'App' to produce poems
like casino coins, or Ideas as diarrhea!
We can't be back to 'Genesis' since
Change in evolutionary process is spiral.
Let simple old stories, fables and sagas
'Tie and dye' with future to take revival!
Aren't Star war, or Shreck are
Metamorphosis of Ancient mythological stories ?
*************************************************************************
Sparkling Youth
We are the angel, angel of change,
To light up new age,
We are restless, we are queer,
We often do great blunder,
Without least fear.
We prefer to be warrior,
Rather to be pitched as thinker,
Courage fuels our power
To crush or create new future!
We dive deep to the ocean
And fly high piercing the sky,
Dare devil to snatch the lightning!
We are reckless, we’are dazzling,
Unfettered sparkling Youth!

# {2}Art of arts .
Let the poetry be pristine
And untouched by by any 'art'
As itself is the ' art of arts'
Quintessential form of heart!
.........................
Who is there in near future
To worry about the art of poetry?
In this digital age as AI is ready
To step in the literary garden !
Who will appeal or protect
In custody the "art " of poetry?
If the 'App' in brain produces
Poems of love, loss, laughter
From the AI factory ,
To replace the Eden of literature !
Who cares for Creativity ,
What future for 'Imagination'?...
Will it be:-
Yes, graveyard is ready,
Coffin is waiting.................
What epithet will be chosen
To inscribe the tombstone ?.........
:-" Step softly , dream lies here !"
Or,
" The best is yet to come ! "
Of course that ' epithet'
Has also to be borrowed
From some frozen cemetery or factory!
First Alphabet. [ESSAY-1]words:315
Language is the Oral expression of thought. How it can be retained
i.e. to reserve as the evidence of the oral expression for the future?
Thought was invisible and very much personal and private. Some 'thoughts' needed to be public that was precious and useful for others to know and to preserve for the future also. Otherwise precious thought will be lost with the decease of individual or community.
In simple language 'Thought' needed to have some 'Form' , some 'appearance' to convey others and also to save for the future .
Idea of Alphabet appeared from necessity; as necessity is the mother of invention! To release the 'abstract' thought into 'concrete ' expression.
Human-being learnt to 'Draw' first to express his thought. To express time as day. they drew sun in the sky or night by drawing moon and stars in the sky . Picture of a boat floating on the river was used to mean that they are making journey on boat.
They learnt to draw picture billion years ago. The mountain. and caves witnessed the human skill as artist .
So alphabet of any language appeared through a process of evolution!
Picture, drawing (better to say sculpture ),was the 'maternity-home' of
alphabet .At the very dawn when human civilization started crawling, he learnt to draw; He learnt to "decode" thoughts by sketching picture . Among many nations [...like. wall in pyramid of primitive Egypt witnesses this idea; also Chinese, Japanese , Korean, language etc,]. the alphabet they use is still like pictures
In twentieth century some archeologists discovered some picture on the wall of a cave in the northern Arctic land which was guessed to be of the pre-historic age. The historians noticed several scattered skeletons which were supposed to be the skeletons of children of different ages ; but one was a skeleton of woman; near to her side there were a heap of logs and wood . And lots of crispy dry leaves, hay spread like (mattress )on the floor .
They discovered an amazing hair-raising obscured picture on the wall;
The lines were too indistinct to observe, even with. special device!
They inferred a story from the bones : A mother with her four children was blocked in the cave-in a stormy day while the father went to hunt for the starving children. The snow storm continued and became severe. To pacify the hungry impatient children , mother drew a picture of big wild pig hunted and carried by their father ; sitting in front of the hearth surrounded by hungry children, with logs ready to cook she perhaps pretended to console them with the story and picture that food was on the way. Father never reached ; outlet of the cave was blocked with snow ; the children and mother all died of prolonged fasting.
Picture revealed how harsh was the life of our ancestors!
