Whose fault was it anyway?


Whose fault was it anyway?

                                             Return of the classic! Set menus are bringing the fine dining ...

Whose fault was it anyway?
They said at a parley,
To discuss the fate,
Of the less fortunate.

Anger surged on the outside,
Of the fortunate sitting inside,
Arguing over the issue,
While saying, “please pass the tissue”.

Tissue to daintily wipe,
The mouth after devouring fruits so ripe,
While not so far from this superficial grumble,
Empty stomachs did rumble.

Rumbling stomachs slept on the tracks so cold,
“Help will come”, they were told,
By the Lord! It did arrive,
And eased them of the burden to survive.

    Pretty sad what happened the other day.

    To be honest, it wasn't anybody's fault. You think that there is someone to blame, but this is the actual world, cruel.

Memoir of a nightmare.

Not much separates you and me, A thin curtain flowing in between, Fighting for long we have been.   I see your silhouette, Acing the misleading, “I’m fine”, Hiding your bruises in shouts of mine.   At midnight, you see my shadow, While wiping the cold sweat off your brow, As I express the pain, on behalf of you.   I follow you in your darkest dreams, While you hide my gifts, the dark circles, Artfully with your concealing creams.   As the sun rises, In my arms, you push your worries, As you go about enjoying life’s cherries.   Once again, I recede behind the flowing curtain, Accepting that my suffocation is certain, Until the next midnight when I find you alone.   You want to banish me with a pill, But return I will, Until you become civil.   Civil with your troubles, Till you don’t hide me in the shambles Of your mind while you play life’s next gambles.

Breathe

  I breathe now, To live and laugh tomorrow, To fulfil hopes and goals, of several loved souls. Each breath makes me wonder, How do they stay asunder? From loved souls who have them in a hold, Just to get someone a breath so bold. Their breaths are muffled, As they keep up their hustle, Not stopping to breathe, Eternally resting with just a condolence wreath?

Change of winds

  As the gray skies deepened, Heavens loudly burst opened, With a vigorous clap of thunder, Streaks of lightning making all wonder.   Was it the greens of monsoon? That received the pouring boon. Falling on the lush green floor, But it was in fact, the season of parched moors.   What a deluge it was, Beyond any reason or cause, Reprieve from the sweltering heat, Or kicking the farmer, already beat.   One side of the world, it was a day of selfies, With piping coffees or monogrammed cups of slurpies, The other side, it was a great bane, Months of toiling drowned in vain.   Rows and columns of well-ordered crops, So nimbly did they flop, As water flowed sans barrier, Rolling tears mimicking a river.   Who is the culprit? Aggravating nature’s hissy fits, For burning through coal pits, Killing animals for fur lined kits.   This cruel change of winds, Result of the burning sins, Merciless murder ...
