Just look around each side.
Front to back, everything has turned to poison these days,
Things that were made for comfort,
Things that were made to make it easy,
Things that were an opportunity,
Has turned to poison these days
Opportunities bring up promises,
Promises to tag along till the end
Handles a bottle vial of poison mid-way.
Those who survive, say “good luck to them!”
Hundreds and thousands are we;
Not a block are we,
Handing a torch of liberty and freedom,
As we buy the star stud insecurity and fear,
Feeling the safe behinds the curtains obscurity,
Wearing the fame of mindless pride,
Oh look this is the à la mode addition in the myriad series of lies;
And it is dope.
Please read my second poem, comments and suggestions are highly appreciated

NEW VISION
Chandrima Modak Apr 2020
Will die a thousand deaths,
Until my voice being heard
Will die a thousand deaths,
Until freedom and rights are reserved
Choices are not the ones set by the rules
But, are the horizons of imaginations and possibilities,
Free from the shackles of yearning and qualms.
Fated for the greater good are no more just words,
So, are experiences no more painful,
Rather a ride of presence.
Does it have to be the hard way?
Longer the wait for an answer in the queue of the questions,
There goes the conscience lost in the wilderness.
Let be buried in the cold grave of the past.
As we build the pillars with new stones,
Let the wait be over at this hour
As the brightest wings of phoenix pierce through the darkening sky, till then
Will die a thousand deaths,
Until I’m fully awake.
This my first time writing and publishing poems online. I hope I can convey a message through this poem and get to hear from my readers to nurture my new found hobby.
