Lost love

I bolted from the blue

When my eyes met

The lost love of my teens

Reappeared, in my weathered years

Troubled scarlet eyes

Over white, watery entrails

Their rims angry, red

Emphasized against a pale face

They stared back at me

In their perfect symmetry

Speaking a silent testimony

To my arrogance and apathy

My fingertips felt

The silky smooth skin

It bred more anguish

I had cared, yes

But apparently meagre

My callousness had caused

Those crimson contours

Two ugly red pimples

On either of my cheek

Reflected in the bathroom mirror

      

And it comes free...

The dessert was nice though, irrespective of its oh-so-political name... Probably that was the reason why we even chose to eat it. Who hasn't tasted rabdi and rasmalai combination before...???

         

Lessons from ants...

All it takes to overpower any entity or an obstacle larger and stronger than you are, is will power and team work. These ants never sat thought how seemingly impossible it would be to take on this worm, a Godzilla for them. They moved on. They trusted their fellows not to ditch them in need. Their companions kept up their trust. They never thought how much labour it would take, but the only concern was to haul their sumptuous dinner up the steep wall, not just for themselves but for the whole colony.

Factually, I might be wrong in stating that these ants might have had any "thoughts" running through their "minds". But as humans, we are far superior to them, mentally, physically...

Why then, is it so difficult to commit ourselves to our aim, without having a thousand questions drag us to inactivity??

Is the inability to coexist harmoniously truly superiority???

Is it so difficult to mould our society to function for a common good instead of an individual and to believe that if it benefits the whole world, it includes them as well??
