my cleavaged brain – 14 viewsmy brain
a cleavage
magnified
the insides
like a coconut
kernel
liquefied
or two
parts
of a water melon
red black seeds
solidified
translucent
pain
grey matter
cannot hide
cells fighting
mutinously
with other cells
swarming
uncalmimg
a tide
un written poems
jumbled words
unconjured emotions
that within reside
waiting to come
out splutteringly
spastically
slide and glide
subdivide
some into pictures
some as poetry
to be unread
on her heart
without hurting her pride
cybernetic love
that is someone else’s bride.
a stunning blow
re echoing a silence
that says mournfully
once again access denied

Bedding a Horny Lens – 159 viewsI recieved this and other more hillarious pictures in Gmail Inbox with a link ..
I could have posted all of them but it would go against my ethics of photography..
But do see the link and laught at some of the most funny picture situations..
<a href="http://legko.be/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6053&Itemid=1 ">legko.be/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i...</a>
This one I am using as my poetry subject
no woman I would want to sleep with
discordant times recession makes sense
I d rather sleep with a life size horny
telescopic zoom lens
a libido far flung and immense
no nagging no bragging no wifes regular nonsense
no more viagra no more spanish fly
if it does not get up no need to get tense
no more old days no more new days
to reminisence
no more taunts no more
she getting pregnant
no more gestational suspense
an indian dress a mere lioncloth
gandhi wore it churchill took offence
no for a million bucks
I wont wear a kilt
I may be stupid I am not dense
Love poetry hate Racism
I am shocked at my poetic moderation
are words to my racist antagonists
as my only ahinsa based self defense
it takes two hands to clap
two hands to repair a broken fence
what shocks me a mere insignificant
Indian gutter fly
caused a fluttter not worth two cents
bashed up egos albaster white faces
bashed up hollow poetic pretense
wounds that will take time to heal
add it to the exchequer as incidental
cybernetic medical expense
my soul banned at poem hunter
smoked out with the fragrance
of a pest killing incense

Happy Womans Day.. – 18 viewsHAPPY WOMANS DAY...
Woman conned the Maker
Woman conned The Serpent
Woman conned The Man.
And Fucked
The Apple in the bargain..
And the garden of Eden
lies in triangular space between the
Two legs of a woman.

John Keated to America – 16 viewspicture courtesy british library.
Jottings on America.
Buzznet is my America.
My love as love is America.
My netted window at dawn opens to America.
Nothern lit America.
Sunny side up America.
My wife asked why do I love America..
I dont want to see America.
A migrant on a planet that is also part of America.
And my heart and no head start lives in the heart of America.
Radioed in radioed out cybernetted to America
Body bagged,scarred and stripped..my angst that is America.
An indegenous Indian,, of India, married to the Indianess of America.
When I die on my grave ,Rest in Peace in America.
An Indian born who fell hook line and sinker for his love in America.

I Cannot Get You Out Of My System – 79 viewsI cannot get you out of my system ,
Its not humanly possible.
Giovanni da Cascia and Jacopo da Bologna,
A musically ambiguous
Venetian madrigal.
Thats love Pianissimo ed
My Sweet Country Girl.
And you wont know pain
My hearts windowed pane,
The light from your heart sustain.
blood stained glass wont complain.
Your world is a blog...blogged heart..
That my blood wont ever drain....
I cannot get you out of my System
I will go inhumanly insane.
And I write this as the world sleeps and snores on the other side of midnight ..on the childrens computer..that is barricaded from me and my drivel spewing brain. ..
I feel like my thoughts are frozen in the refrigerator..of my head and might crack up... break like ice.. watered all in vain.
Sweat drops that sound like torrential rain
On an Iraqi prisoner at Abu Gharaib in chain

Lathi Charge on Human Rights – 32 viewspicture courtesy Google Images
Photo AP
for representational purpose
The Lathi charging never ends
Used as a means to an
attacking end
to brutalize public opinion
to sodomize human rights
a political paralysed
system to defend
cries of pain
tears in heat and dust
as they blend
the khaki terrorism
on human feelings
unapologetic
inhuman signals
as its sends
knowing that there are
cameras around
their bravado
insult to a democratic
measures do offend
under the pay
of a political terror
no amend
while the government
with sealed lips of silence
just pretends
the officer in charge
they will suspend
yes the policeman
is no more our friend
unhealthy signs do portend
no returns no dividends
a goonda raj
with which we are contend
the main criminals on the loose
the poor man they apprehend
pull his hair kick, blows , punch
to a level of a barbarian they descend
men women children under the lathi
what a trend custodians
of law and order
rules that they bend
fake encounters,
travesty of justice
corruption
haftagiri
gundagiri
dadagiri
no this system
cannot
will never mend
to be a cop
sell your soul to the devil
they the power brokers
recommend
a juicy posting
is a ministerial
favour godsend
the best of humanity
choked on a river bend
no witness
no telling tales
no loose ends
the khaki raj
of carnage
on cry a beloved
country
as it overextends
Like me you must have seen the TV clip on lathis being raised on defenceless women, an old man being kicked by the cops..I dont say all cops are bad, but the system that protects rogue cops is bad, outsourcng of security agencies is bad, crazies enlisted because the backward caste system has to be safe guarded.. most of the cops , army personnel need immediate psychiatric care, they have to be treated, healed, I see this as the main priority..
There is no policeman over the policeman..unfortuntely..the disease has set in very deep…cancerous..killing the country by default..The images of police torture in custody.. well I dread to think about it, if what I saw on the screen is brutality at its very best..the political netas owe society an explanation..

A Pope Apologises – 19 viewsphoto courtesy
http://www.catholicpressphoto.com/servizi/2006-08-06-angelus-castello/default.htm
The Catholic apologies of 1998 and 2000 are different from those of other denominations:
Apologies are on behalf of some unidentified "sons and daughters" of the church, but not on behalf of the church itself.
The apologies are vaguely worded so that it is sometimes difficult to identify which past atrocity is being referred to.
It does not include any mention of present behavior that is sinful or deficient.
It does not describe any plan to prevent the recurrence in the future of past crimes against humanity.
The Church teaches that, as an institution, it is pure and without fault. It was created by Christ and is maintained by God to be free of error, in the past, present, and future. It is only individual church members and leaders who have sinned.
Pope John Paul II's apology was opposed by many Vatican leaders. Some church leaders felt that a confession of past errors might cause many Roman Catholics to wonder whether the church is currently engaged in sinful behavior that will require some future pope to apologize for sins committed by the church leadership in the early 21st century. Most often, policies that are directly or indirectly linked to human sexuality are mentioned, including the church's:
Ban on divorce,
Ban on contraception,
Ban on in-vitro fertilization, and
Treatment of homosexual orientation as an objectively disordered state.
However, John Paul believed that repentance will transform the church and enable it to lead the world into a "new springtime of Christianity." He was able to overrule the Vatican Curia.
On 2000-MAR-1, in Paris, representatives of the Roman Catholic Church held a press conference which, according to Reuters, "outlined a framework for seeking forgiveness for past errors without necessarily admitting responsibility for them."
1 The French translation of a new church document: "Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past" was released. It had been prepared over a three year interval by a papal commission, the International Theological Commission, under the auspices of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. It contains "some 90 pages, divided into 6 chapters." 8 The document was published in time for the church's ''Request for Forgiveness'' theme day on 2000-MAR-12. This was synchronized with the first Sunday in Lent, a traditional time of penitence. This is one of many special observances associated with the Church's millennium celebration in the Jubilee year, 2000.
Memory and Reconciliation" acknowledges that individuals within the Church have committed serious errors in the past. Father Jean-Louis Brugues, one of the report's authors stated: "We have mentioned a few errors, but we could have had a very long list, too long a list. I fear the list will never be finished." He continued: "The Christians of today are not responsible for the errors of the 19th or 16th century. We are not responsible for errors we did not commit...We have had to find a way to liberate and purify memory without talking about responsibility.''
Pope John Paul II's verbal apology
Bishop Piero Marini, the official in charge of papal ceremonies, described a series of apologies which were to be made from Roman Catholic pulpits around the world during the Day of Pardon mass, Sunday, 2000-MAR-12. He explained that "The reference to errors and sins in a liturgy must be frank and capable of specifying guilt; yet given the number of sins committed in the course of 20 centuries, it must be necessarily be rather summary. [sic]" 3
The Pope delivered a homily during the in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. He included an apology for wrong done to "women, Jews, Gypsies [Roma], other Christians, and Catholics." 4,13 Some excerpts from Pope John Paul II's speech are:
Referring to the church's relationship to Jews, the pope said: "We are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer, and asking your forgiveness, we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood."
In an apparent reference:
to the mass murder of individuals that the church considered heretics,
to the various schisms within Christianity, and
for manifestations of religious intolerance.
the pope said: "We are asking pardon for the divisions among Christians, for the use of violence that some have committed in the service of truth and for attitudes of mistrust and hostility assumed towards followers of other religions."
According to the Toronto Star: "Though broadly worded, the petitions made reference to the historic mistreatment of women 'who are too often humiliated and marginalized;' to 'contempt for [other] cultures and religious traditions;' and to hatred for society's weakest members."
"The document acknowledges sins only by those acting in the name of the church. It does not acknowledge any sins by the church itself or those who have served as its popes..." CNN.com, 2000-MAR-7 10
"John Paul II wanted to give a complete, global vision, making reference to circumstances of the past, but without focusing on details out of respect for history." Archbishop Rino Fisichella of Rome
"It is quite a remarkable and admirable thing that a church that considers itself holy, that believes its popes are guided by the hand of God, would acknowledge and ask forgiveness for mistakes of the past. But what about the mistakes of the present? Let's hope acknowledgment of today's exclusion and rejection of women won't have to wait for whoever is pope during the next Jubilee." Joan Ryan, San Francisco Chronicle. 15

My poem
Gandolfo castle Angelus time
Another Pope
A new apology
A gesture sublime
Repentance more
important than crime
Bells of forgiveness
mutedly chime
Words of an obscure
Mediaeval Emperor
Manuel II Paleologus
That at Regensburg
He had eulogized
Muslims and their Holy Prophet
Cannot be messed
Or antagonized
And the glory of Islam
Cannot be trivialized
Christian churches
Christian dreams brutalized
He thoughtfully analyzed
regretfully apologized
Manuel II Paleologus
In Byzantine history
Unidealised
Bulldozed fossilized
Dehumanized
Because of Pope Benedicts
Remarks
beatified
canonized
Sainthood
Recustomized
for ever
and ever
immortalized

The Malady Of Malegaon – 24 viewsDamaged bicycles and torn footwear of bomb blast victims are strewn inside a mosque compound in Malegaon, 260 km (162 miles) northeast of Mumbai September 9, 2006.

my poem :
The Malady of Malegaon
Tv Channels camera zooms
Inner Malegaon for Muslims
Outer Malegaon for Hindus
Ghettoization
One mother
Two kids
enforced segregation
Presumes
Power looms
One country
Two deadlocked
head and heart blocked
communities
Vested interests
Hate blooms
Vande Matram centenary
governmental mistake
That time and energy consumes
Misplaced priorities
Power dooms
Two hospitals
And no rooms
Electoral agony
Compensation
Madame and Hon CM
Wipe away tears,
Blood and pain
With monetary brooms
Power failure of intelligence
The yellow jaundice colored
Media assumes..
No smoke without fire
Add more water to the fumes
A few minutes silence
And municipal election resumes
Recycled sketches faceless
Trauma , joblessness,
Depleting economy
That terrorism grooms
A carnivorous cemetery ..
Gluttonous graves
Innocent souls
Incarcerated body parts
Soulless tombs
unborn children
dread life after birth
in motherless wombs.
my 594th poem a police officer friend asked me why I had not gonme to shoot pictures of the blast at Malegaon.. I was lost for words..

The Metrosexual Hijda – 105 viewsphoto courtesy http://www.unaids.org/en/
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi hands out condoms at the Global Village at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 14, 2006
No Vaginal Vagaries to moot
Trans gendered tragedy
Tyrannical tyranny
Forbidden fruit
Lap topped levity
Off shoulder strapless dress
From a designer of repute
Metro sexual hijda
Main stream media
In hot pursuit
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi
To Toronto London
Zurich en route
Lisping rhapsodic
Rhetoric’s she shoots
Lovers’ lover’s lovers she loots
Mouths gyrating tongues
And phallic flutes
The hope of a lost race
The world salutes.
Beauty transgressed
Beyond the birthday suit

Bush accuses Iranians of role in arming Iraq – 11 viewsBy PETER BAKER
Washington Post
WASHINGTON — President Bush bluntly accused Iranian agents Wednesday of providing sophisticated explosives to kill U.S. troops in Iraq but said he did not know whether they were acting on orders of the Islamic republic's leaders and denied using the allegations as a pretext to go to war with Tehran.
The president spent much of the hour-long televised session in the East Room addressing skepticism of his government's assertions regarding Iran and fears of a widening regional conflict.
"The idea that somehow we're manufacturing the idea that the Iranians are providing (explosives) is preposterous," Bush said. Repeating a reporter's question, he added: "Does this mean you're trying to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops."
Bush rejected suggestions that his administration has provided conflicting accounts of the Iranian leadership's involvement in arming Iraqi extremists. On Sunday, U.S. military officials briefing reporters in Baghdad on the condition of anonymity said that the "highest levels" of Iran's government were involved, but Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, later said he would not say the Iranian government is complicit.
"There's no contradiction that the weapons are there and they were provided by the Quds force," an Iranian paramilitary unit, Bush said. He added: "We know that. And we also know that the Quds force is a part of the Iranian government. That's a known. What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds force to do what they did."
Bush warns Iran of arming Iraq
Weapons of mass destruction
No fire no spark
Wingless truth posing as lark
Imperialistic hegemony
Enslaving the free will of a nation
Is truth that is stark
War is a reminder that
Peace street walks
Turbulent times
Unhealing tasks
Presidents wearing
Satanic masks
Where is freedom liberty equality
The unfortunate ask
