THE LENSMAKER

We all have been imparted a vision by the so called 'Lensmaker' - God! If we're all equal in the eyes of God then why are our visions so different?

THE LENSMAKER 

                           - 20 Sept' 15

Oh Lensmaker sitting up there,
How could you be so unfair.
Gifting eyes of vision to all,
But eyes seeing the truth are rare.

It would've been better if you had blessed each one of us this blessing,
But instead you left some of my friends in a game of guessing.
Guessing how the world looks like!
The ones who can never witness the sunset nor could go on an adventurous hike.

We seldom use the eyesight to appraise the beauty of things; like adoring a scoop hot chocolate fudge,
The only thing we do with our eyes today is to judge!
We bifurcate each other under fat, short ,tall, thin very skillfully,
Better are blind people who treat every person on the planet equally.✨

Why only eyes; that just helplessly watch misery,
And these hands hanging cold like a dead tree in a nursery.
It is said you're the only one who would care,
But I doubt seeing that small child walking with his feet bare.

What stopped you from making the eyesight a bit deeper?
That would've made mankind a little less cheaper.
They would stop discriminating each other by caste, creed or race,
And could see the bright soul hiding behind that dark face!

Oh Lensmaker sitting up there,
Show some love if you at all care,
The rich is getting richer,
While the poor walks with his feet bare!

A Game of Guessing

Destiny has always been unfair, Some end up lucky, while some in despair. They touch, feel & read by pressing, Life for them is a game of guessing. We better agree that our lucks must be bright, We have been gifted with the vision of sight. We know how the sun sets and rises, What the world looks like, what all it comprises. Impaired but ambitious, Disabled but precious. Each one of them has a different spark. Remember, no blind is afraid of dark. Writers, teachers, photographers, They have potential we don't see, And sometimes it just occurs to me, Are they blind? Or are we? We must show gratitude towards this blessing, Our life could've also been a game of guessing.                        — Balshree Adityaa Wagh                             04 April 2017

Cyanide and Happiness!

Disappointed Stan was walking on the shore, Without a spouse his life had become a bore. Sadly walking by the riverside, He bumped into a lady licking a bar of cyanide. Astounded at first, His eyes started to burst. Keenly Observing the lady with whom did he just collide, The lady holding the bar of cyanide. She held his hand both started walking, And then the lady started talking. So here I meet my guide, You helped me discover I could too taste cyanide. Wearing a red dress and carrying an umbrella, She stated her name was Abella.  The only difference between them was that she did hide, Her talent of tasting cyanide. Abella ate that bar in front of him to lure, While Stan felt deeply insecure. Because there was girl by his side, Who also had declared the taste of cyanide! They talked and walked every evening, And celebrated their brand new beginning. And after their early morning cycle ride, They shared a bar of cyanide. Then he dropped her at her home, Whic
