Good Hearts

Good Hearts
By Dr. Rajamouly Katta

I love to see the people

With good hearts

They wish human welfare,

The progress of human race

They are truth lovers

To say that a spade is a spade,

No hypocrisy, no guise

No appearance, no fancy-dress show

Ony real colours to glow

To be away from deception.

I love those who love nonviolence

That detests fears and tears

That hates bloodshed,

Mass killings, massacres

That bestows on life peace

The principle of humanity

Human distinction

Its love for mankind

That conquers the mission

The real achievement of man.

Real justice is social justice

Built with the bricks

Of liberty, equality and fraternity

Liberty is not to do violence

It is not to hurt others’ feelings

Equality in all walks of life

Not just with the right to vote

Fraternity is love for all

To enrich their happiness

And enjoy their progress.

Sculptures of Musings

Sculptures of Musings 
By Dr. Rajamouly Katta 

Musings are fantastic

Fanciful as well as artful

Away from outer senses

As a concealed treasure

Musings dawn

At the sight inspiring

And undergo poetic prowess

In the poet’s mind for a poem

With Beauty for readers’ gaiety

Like a sculpture that has form

When chiselled in the skill

In the imaginative process

In the mind of a sculptor

Like the texture of a filigree

With the variety of threads

Interwoven to shine

In the rainbow tinctures

In the mind of a weaver,

Like the earth in creation,

For the mirth of flora and fauna

The creator knows wonders

In the imaginative process

The sculpture of musings,

Risen from the poet’s mind,

In the poem, the word picture

Gushed from the pen.

Musings are shaped into a poem

Like a sculpture from rock

Like an ornament from gold

Like a goblet from clay.

Life, 'A linear-Time Dimension' in Human Time

Life, 'A linear-Time Dimension' in Human Time

by Dr. K. Rajamouly

Synopsis:

According to Larkin, life is a texture in “a linear-time dimension”. It is a hard journey through time in which “happiness is too going” (TLD, 44). It is the illusion of illusions as time rules life to turn it into a supreme illusion.  All time - present, past, and future – serves as a three-fold illusion and becomes a source for disappointments in life. Mortality and futility are the inevitable facts of life. The future, which is unpromising, acts as a harbinger of misfortunes including death, the harshest fact of life. The present is seen with a series of failures and frustrations in life on the collapse of castles built in the air. The past is past to serve as a reminder of what we ought to have been. Life after all is in thrall to time’s constant flux.

Key words:

Time, powers, thrall, illusion, life, birth, growth, childhood, youth, middle age, old age, death, mortality, future, expectations, aims, dreams, present, the past, futility, failures, disappointments, sadness, and miseries.
