Alone, alone
all, all alone
alone in a house of three
doors and windows
although open
locked inside are we
thoughts and acts
are all our own
the mind is working free
boundaries strong
like walls are built
hardened to the core
mortar, cement ghastly tiled,
to every single door
change of season,
changing dreams
carve new worlds’ untold
every cloud does not hold
silver lining as we are told
grey clouds hamper
cast a spell
no one can behold
what new challenges
lie there waiting
to drown your spirit sore
life is turning every moment
behind you closing
every single open door
~ Shobha Diwakar
Jabalpur, India
A very appropriate poem for the present times when this Covid Monster has cast global darkness in everyone’s life with a strangulating grip it’s asphyxiating it’s victims who fearlessly rather foolishly break laws imposed making it ( the Covid Monster) victorious.
rightly said ASB, as human beings we are so irresponsible that we break life-saving rules, which we always love to and take pride in disobeying to boost our selfish ego , when something unfortunate happens a susual lay blame on the system and rejoice in doing so!
