Short Resignedly Poems

Just light a candle and watch it
flicker in silence
Rest an elbow on long proven
neglect
And stroll resignedly along 
the same width of spiteful 
zero sums
A step away enthralls a din

Align your boundaries,

Cell phones came, replaced your watch,
Resignedly you just watched;

Took away your alarm clock,
You shrugged and to your way walked;

Next, it eyed your camera,
You: ka mera, ka mera!

Then came daily calendar,
You knew just to surrender.

Should next be your family,
Would you still watch by idly?
