Shameless

K.V.SRIKANTH 1969 (Tamil Nadu)



Driven by ambition.
The final destination
Has been a fixation
There is no vaccilation
To end up an American.
Dream of Visiting
The very cause for living
Occupation can be any
To go to the land of milk and honey.
Odds they  overcome
Insults we  bear
A point to prove
Nothing left to Spare
Made to wait on the Streets
Beggars seem like kings
At the plight of these with low esteem.
Called an Alien
Goes to the counter
Fearing rejection
Judged mocked and ridiculed
In the resume it should include
Summoned at random
Willing to obey any command
Like a Criminal who's part of a chain gang
Is made to stand.
The tone is impolite

Accent is bizzare.
Still wanting the approval.
Unfortunately is who we are.
.Programmed by their marketing
Unworthy goes there flocking
Answering every question
Thinking it is their redemption.
Students Workers and Gurus.
Abide by their standards set to follow thru
Brushing aside their
 tradition.
Still don't know what is the compulsion.
Go with head held high
Never swallow your pride
Showcase your stride
Question his right
Reject his offer
Baffled he will be at your gesture
Probe  his pedigree
Believe you me this is a true story

I am K.V.Srikanth. I did my Schooling in Don Bosco Egmore and my Bachelors at RKM Vivekananda College .I Completed my Masters in Film and Television at Bond University in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I am currently a Table Tennis Coach. Being a former competitive player I have been pursuing my passion for the past 8 years now. I coach at Academies, Schools, Apartments and also have my own Coaching Center. I have been into Stock Broking in the Trading Desk, Used Car Sales as a salesman and even worked in a Film and Television Company as an Assistant Director mainly involved in Reality Shows Of late I have been dabbling in Writing. This is the first collection of my works. I am an avid film watcher and a movie and music buff. I would like to call them songs. As a huge fan of the Rock Scene of the 1970’s I have written these with the intention that they get converted into tunes and fill the air of music already existing. I have named this SONGS FROM THE HEART more…
