No Better... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

No Better...



He walks along close to me all the time
At times goes ahead, falls behind sometimes,
Talking all the while laughing aloud often
Bitter accusing words many times

What others around watching us would think?
Pretend I want not to listen, ignore
That provokes him to talk harshly more
Prompts him to go louder each time

Hindrance his voice to my onward slumber
The one silent in the light is a friend better!
This booing shadow of my mind's inner,
This conscience I bear is no better

Nice piece, u'r conversant with wordplay...a nice style. We can't do away with our conscience, we are one.It defines our fate.
