We Tamils

We Tamils
------------------------
We Tamils with burdening
weighty load of several centuries
on our back
travel carrying our words,
claiming a supremacy;
We cross all the oceans.
With our words; we presume
Winning bread, comforts, and respect
But  the noise of deafening waves
Jeer how we  speak of how aged it is,
of the ocean power which  gave  us songs.
We sing again of our respect
Claiming  it our kin .

Wantonness

 Wantonness
The market of
Wantonness
radiates  with
Bright new
bulbs of attraction 
Always.
Your want is 
always lit by
Another bulb
And it 
Illumines immediately.
You want
Something;
Many times
