Life's Abyss

This world has become a big mart,

Be it fields of science, commerce or arts.

Emptiness surrounds every heart,

People seem close, yet are far apart.

Each mask uncovers a hidden story,

Reality is far different from the lands of fairy.


A child born to an unwritten fate,

Toddles in infancy, wishing to unlock all gates.

Does he ever wonder about the shadows

Or the encounters life bestows

Growing up in a secure world, life seems beautiful,

No Doubt, philosophies and lectures are so awful.

Adolescence with its zest and vibgyor,

One can’t ask for more

When the time comes to take a step out

Faith and Determination are all it seems about

The awaiting experiences outcasts the past ones,

Revelation comes along with the pros and cons

Dreams are shattered heart becomes stone,

The soul inside silently mourns.

The laughter that rang through the horizon

Its place, quietly, a plastic smile has taken

The little toddler is no longer a fool

Knows now the stupidity of lessons taught at school

The path may be different for one from the other

But at the end of it all- nobody is nobody’s brother


Its not just about angels and evils

Humanity is on the verge of peril

A new incident occurs every second, every day.

There is an urge to find the right way.

Perhaps if only eyes could speak and mouth left shut

People w’d be more honest and no one would ever hurt

Do you think the Earth will beautify like this?

Or should it carry on the way it is?

Man is a social animal, a single soul can’t decide

Society makes the rules and by it we all shall abide.
