Recipient At Destiny's Doorstep

Images roll daily trampled by incivility Far away enough yet close to humanity Mired by evil, engrossed in misery Where being born feels like a tragedy. Longing for mercy, smile tries to emerge Straining weary mind every grin hurts Yet, life goes on unfazed by distress Amid stormy rain wishing for a sunny day. Untouched by pain world disdain reigns, Forlorn eyes concede burden of debt Paying it with pride extracted from dignity For being a recipient at destiny's doorstep. March 27, 2018

Life is a concoction of happiness and sorrow dominated more by pain than by joy...! "Yet, life goes on unfazed by distress Amid stormy rain wishing for a sunny day.".... Yes, this is all we can do. Impressive presentation !

Hi Vijay, a deep and powerful piece of poetry you have layed before us. A most interesting write indeed. A true, real piece of poetry that has beauty within its sadness. The beauty comes from the way you convey your words. A deep and touching write my friend. We should all be left some dignity. Have a wonderful Sunday. Your friend always....Mike.

It seems so sad that some have such sad destinies compared to others. And yet we all end up at that great doorstep. Nice metaphor, Vijay
