On my way!!……  ……..By Subajana Jeyaseelan

It was a beginning of the day

A fresh beautiful morning!

I was in the bus in a pensive mood

Peeping through the window

Enticed with the scenery!

Observing the hustle-bustle

Movements of people on roads

In and out

Suddenly I saw

Along the street seated

In the dusty sand

An old feeble woman

With tanned and wrinkled skin

Because of age and poverty

Begging for coins

Many a passer-by –but

None  paid attention

to the miserable wretched soul!

People rushed in haste

Like swarm of bees!

No time to stop

To drop a coin

In the outstretched arm of

The poor old woman!

Ruminating the scene

Hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow

I continued my journey

To my destination!

There is no time for petty

And destructive criticism,

 No time for ill will or blaming others.

Child abuse!

Young ‘sprout’

Crushed cruelly

By a ‘brute’

No age difference- many a child

Of various ages

Did not bloom yet –But

Alas!! Squished

Petals are on the ground

Like a withered flower

No maturity

To realize the irreparable loss

What a pity!!

Giving the bribe

The culprit is let out

And ready for ‘hunting’ the other-to

Destroy the dreams

And …

The life of the little bud!

Society sleeps-they

Are the children of abused Mothers?

They are labeled ‘illegal children’

Where will they be?

In the society?

Their future???

Whom to be punished???

God? Fate?

Beautiful night!

Cool breeze!

Shining moon!

Twinkling stars!

Nature is on mirth!

Alas! But- I am on berth

X----------X

Gone are the…days

Gone are the days of happiness

     And …. Beauty!

An awesome summer

And a midnight dream!

It’s stupidity! To open the Past!

    Cheers!  Cheers!

Let life move on

Once you

Met me accidentally

The image of mine

Engraved in your memory

Hardly erase me

From the chapters of your life!

You struggle

Battle silently inside

I am not in a position

To accept you!
