A Rupee

My word is not reaching to you

It’s getting feeble by your laughter & cheers

It gets lost by the chaos of this crazy world

Though I’m screaming in full throttle

But – it’s not reaching to your heart

Because my words are so lonely and-

You’re so lost in your own self, drowned in self obsession.

 

You look so superficial there’s no veracity on your face

You talk like someone else, behave like a living dead

You want more but unwilling to give a drop-

To the dying humanity;

And my words like a frail craft

I’m your intellectual property

You take my picture and move away

To practice your intellect –

You’re such a sham, venal and unashamed.

 

But someday when you’re tired & alone

Uncomfortable in your comfort zone –

In your sleepless, ceaseless night

Remember, I only asked for a rupee from you

One rupee- for one bread –

Just to live one more day –

   of my life.
