Death versus life

Life is a circle;
With  a beginning point
And an ending meeting the point
Ultimately to a 0,
You came
You left
But leaving an impression
Can captivate changes to this 0
By good deeds
One lives after death,
In living souls
Like  Mahatma Gandhiji.

Republic day

On republic day,
Salute to leaders
Who were readers
Of public interests
Who actuated
Exasperated
For nation's success
With all excess
Of love and care
Of every denizen
Salute to the flag
Salute to you
Father
Proud to be Indian
