FRIGHTENING SIGHTS
FRIGHTENING SIGHTS
Idealism lies dead and frozen
In a mobile mortuary,
The corpse is masked by floral wreaths;
But, its smiling face shows
The relief of being dead!
Truth turns ill in this famous land,
Where cannibals thrive,
Justice shiver of fear
And hides in a cellar of wealth!
Remove the blindfold,
The righteous goddess;
Open your eyes and look,
To shed blood as tear!
Those who stood with us
Those who were very close
Search new nests
To become the charioter of the foe!
As if a ruined family story
Reality is obscure
Guess and rumour
Spread confusion and chaos!

GRANDMA
GRANDMASee that leaflessAbandoned,dying tree,The one who fed and shelteredHundredsInthe daye before!She took water drops from the depth of earthTo combine with carbondioxideTo make starchFor serving all!Now she sinks into abyss of death,Her pulse weakensNumbness spreadsBut,have one wishTo hear the song of a birdTo feel.the gentle wind.How many grandmas weepasthis dying treeTo see their little onesTo feel a gentle touchWhen lying on death bed!====//////======© Rajendran Thriven
