Darting Fear

by Satish Verma   May 19, 2016


Here again we are standing against
the wall of silence,
time has made us partners of sorrow.
Merchants of terror have spread their
wares
on the road. I was only a name.

Hundreds of miles fear was darting
no body knows who will become unfaithful.
Prayer demands subjugation.

Life sucks the laughter, we want to
go back to childhood,
shut the eyes and recite the hymns of
history,
when prophets were roaming in
neighbourhood.

    Dear Vermaji.

    Life sucks the laughter, - UFF kya baath hai!!

    Very true , life does that to you sometimes- it just drains you off leaving behind not even a drop of laughter.

    loved this description-
    go back to childhood,
    shut the eyes and recite the hymns of
    history,
    when prophets were roaming in
    neighbourhood...

    as usual great poetry.
    thank you for sharing.
