A Forsaken Bus On An Empty Road Poem by Debayudh Chatterjee

A forsaken bus stood upon an empty road

Whose wheels turned but had nowhere to go…

Such were our thoughts so confined and bound

Uncertainty rips and vales utterly sound

So silent and pure and pristine they whined

Thunderstorms swirled and clouds roared blind

Just ocean without waves scurrying in blue

Lamp-posts without light and old beads anew…



An empty road walked past milestones of thought

Slaughters and bloodshed and whatever, what not

Perished in grandeur and merged back to death

A lonely man danced in the realms of bad fate

Gallops of fury that whitened to snow…



We all had destinies, but nowhere to go…
