Luck is not on my side
Though I am good
A pretty rough divorce
Friendship breakups
Numerous misunderstandings
Not picking up social cues
Been through it all
God not answering my call!

Luck is not on my side
Betrayed by somebody
Who was once a best friend
Made to feel like a nobody
Ghosted for an innocent Facebook comment
Guilty until proven innocent!!

Luck is not on my side
I've had a tough ride
In spite of being sweet
Always tasting defeat
Be it at work
Or outside work!!

Luck is not on my side
Never been able to take the lead
Though forever learning
Not to mention, improving
To me, India hasn't been kind
Messing up with my mind
Over and over again
So much pain for no gain!!

Luck is not on my side
Where am I bad
As far as character is concerned?
Please be bold
And tell it to my face
Should get me out of a bad phase!!

Luck is not on my side
When will this end?
I've been a patriot
But it's gone to waste
It's time for me
To finally break free
And switch my loyalties
Maybe to our neighbours
Or even better, our old colonialists
Yes, luck is not on my side
But I'm switching sides
Then luck will finally be on my side!!
Poem on all the bad luck I have faced over the years.
And so should the strongest
Make love to the link worn delicate?
In that communion,
As one to another companion,
We seal the cracks & breaks
That have started to leak.
We bind what made us weak.
We champion truth
And honor accuracy;
Don your hood,
But don't go robbing.
Love passionately, but love gently.
Do so with forthright honesty,
Do not play at it or fake it
Lest you forsake it.
From what seems as less than
We shall reveal the hidden,
As a marvelous miracle unwinding.
It's all perspective,
For though I think them no greater
They are more than certainly my equals.
I would live for them as I would die for them,
One & all.
Couldn't get past heavy water,
Here's one for the feudal fascists.
I probably need to spell it out for you,
D.N.***

The Creator doesn't give us misfortunes
HE is very merciful
Be grateful


Think clearly
Only
humans are responsible for pain, sadnesses and sorrows
Sometimes
they harm themselves
Sometimes
they harm others
Misdeeds ruin life
Odd Odyssey Poet Nov 2021
Tied out laces, dirt on all our faces
We can't fit in with the crowd:
Uneven teeth, dried out lips
Do we ever feel a bit proud?
Empty pockets, plenty of losses
As our problems echo so loud.

They don't see us; as we see them all.

Torn out socks, shoes with rocks
Kicked by the foot of life:
Bleeding noses, and dead roses
Our gardens never survive:
Living divided, we're all misguided
At the edge of a sharp knife.

They don't see us; as we see them all.

Look at us!
They think they're better driving fancy cars,
Look at us!
They think they're better spending chips at bars,
Look at us!
They think they're better buying off the people,
Look at us!
They think they're better treating us less than equals,
Look at us!
They think they're better with their ***' sunlit,
But even if you try to hide it; we all go through some shït.



We are the misfortunate;
Who missed good fortunes
We are ringing in your head?
But do you ever hear us calling?

As a child
Down by the railway sidings
Hidden behind
We watch an ashen man  with a painted *****
The silver could feed us for a week
And she laughs as I cry
In the face of youths first love
The vibrating rail
Is an ode to the loveless love
I thought of an influential writing that outlines the misfortunes of virtue and recalled a time in childhood
We would play amongst freight train lines on a steel mill
Every week an elderly guy would meet a ******* under a bridge and I wondered that at that time the cost of *** outweighed our poverty

I do not want tomorrow to come
Today was bad
But tomorrow is going to be worse
Spilled cups of tea awaits me
Overboiled milk is just around the corner
Burnt eggs, papercuts, hitted pinky toes
All the small misfortunes
That make my life unbearable
One over another, One over another,
One over another,
Heavy piles of obsticles
Burden my shoulders
But all this is just in my head.
Everything has an end but
it is up to you if you'd want that
kind of denouement
or if you'd like multiple of series.

— The End —
