Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

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.

Valsa George May 15, 2022 at 9:22 PM 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 !
