Laying down in my cozy nest

my mind wandered to different places

to the mystery world where fishes go snorkeling

and people with hexagonal faces.

My mind took me around to see

the world of wonderful secrets and supernatural powers

then brought me back to reality

and I already knew

this is where the dark cloud hovers.

A place where there was only darkness

with flickering lights nearby

they didn't seem to be candles

more like the glowing eyes of wolves

which seemed so cruel and heartless.

My mind bringing me flashes

of things I shut my eyes to

where the hunger for truth was nowhere to be seen

and justice just existed as a word.

A piece of paper with some value

acting as an one way door between

cruelty and humanity;

flower buds

who wished they bloomed

wished they made this world more beautiful

have now gone into a deep sleep.

Where a mother's heart has to break, every day

where females need to FEnd-MALES off, every day

where donations feed the pockets of the rich more than the stomachs of the poor

where the dark things if bought together can make never-ending lists

A student not allowed to know the truth

a teacher not allowed to speak the truth

where colors and numbers are deciding how pure one is?....

where there exists no ruth.

I saw the world every day with my eyes,

but the world my conscience made me see today

has made me come back to reality

and not just live in an illusion.

Where there exist

people like you and me

who know just to keep quiet

and just know to persist.

Here we are sitting in our cozy nest

just being another ordinary one

who came

who knew

and then,

just kicked the bucket.
