Worth

A pinch of salt makes delicious food disappear in matter of a wink,

While an extra bit of it makes all of it go down the sink.

We pass by on the road, being insensitive to an oozing pool of other’s blood,

While after shedding a few drops of ours, it seems to as if we lost our world.

The destitute children get starved for a hug of benevolence,

While their educated counterparts treat parent’s over affection as interference.

A handful of sand seeping out symbolizes the whole year,

While each passing minute in an exam, prove to be ever so dear.

A tiny matchstick helps us get into the religious sheath,

The same lighting a cigarette pushes us seven minutes closer to death.

A bottle of water may be used to flavor the wine,

The same when used in a dessert, it’s value goes divine.

We keep fiddling to get the best shoes with utmost desperation,

While people with artificial limbs, thank god for this holy invention.

Few doses of drugs transform the youth to a cool dude,

While two drops of a vaccine are enough to save a childhood.

The people guiding us to the Mountain’s top are worthy but probably unreal,

The one’s thumping anddr pushing you at ground level are one’s blessings and surreal.
