Uprising

Empty hands were trying to collate
the fallout after the trigger moment
invited the unwelcome guest
wearing explosive vest.

It gives a push to throw away the paper
and I walk up to the ink for a 
new chapter. The squinting sun was 
not able to break the stoic silence of adoration.

A pervasive ambition spreads out
on the breads of poor dreams.
Pay no attention, pay no respect to the falling
patriach. Daughters of broken stars were rising.

The one in the mirror can always change their reflection. I once heard a line from a book: "There is a way to be good again." Your work is truly your gift, Satish- from my heart to yours...
