Histrionic glee in the shadows,
A black home of white memories,
A cuffkiller and a goosebump silencer,
Just some shadows of time!
Faux cunning fox, braying bottom crow,
Loosening the grip with fond memories of past,
forgetting the present aghast,
Dopamine receptors on steroids!
Smiles sent on long exiles,
Infrequent, in-between relaxations,
Giving way to the worries,
Cummulated to outsize heavenly Nile!
Nightly canvas' blankness still,
Waiting to be painted,
Not by colours but by paint
Of past, and future altering rites
Reality- dolorous, dark, grim,
With rays of light in mites,
Your courage gobbled like a turkey,
Buried, fried, roasted- deep!
Leaping to ambitions over morality,
We're the riff-raffs in this cruelty,
Greed, wealth, power and pleasure
Not goals but dead ends in this maze called life....
