Unpatterened Thoughts

"You are not seen

Now-a-days on the pages.

Are you busy?"-

Asked a die hard fan.

Busy? yes, I am.

As I always was.

To reach the things beyond me,

And to remain untouched by

Current writers' politics.

The rule of patriarchy,

Casting couch,

Bribe and favouritism.

Not to be forgotten, nepotism.

Her eyes were open,

Wider than my thought.

The deep disappointment,

Was visible in her pupils.

I pretended to ignore...............

People who know me,

Refuse to recognise.

Or it seems so, from their behaviour.

At times it’s so disturbing.

My inner conscience solaced me,

To think, express and expect the change

I want to be and more-

Even if it takes a bit longer.

I put my mind on paper,

It doesn’t matter, if it isn’t a star

As long as it creates chatter

With the inner being.

Is it so important

To be in the pages

Even if one must

Buy and wear the badges?
