Two Sides of the Road

The two sides of the road,I pass~
Like two shores of the river....
Are glimpses of great contrast...
Like a patient's fluctuating fever..!

Places of grief & palaces of glee...
Stand opposite to each other...
Living in their own world separately...
With none in a mood to bother...!

Tall apartments touching the skies...
Fill one half of my vision...
& slums,on the other side prick my eyes...
Raising doubts to my reason...!

Grave-like-darkness & splurge of lights...
A better contrast is a rare achievement...
Like the dusk that separates days & nights...
The road divides two worlds different...!

As I cross the midway of differing dreams...
A thousand thoughts captivate my mind...
We polarize the world ourselves,it seems...
& we are the ones who feign to be blind...!
