The Mirror........... Poem by Saurabh Som

(((Part 1)))


***World to me ***

Compromise!
Conscience kills
And success will kiss your feet

Sad demise
Of ideals
Sadly but truly
Truth bleeds

Compromise!
Conscience is nothing
But a bunch of empty jokes!
Ideals?
Huh!
They’re for looser folks!

You want to be a “Somebody”?
Then kill yourself first!
Nobody cares for nobody
Pop!
The dream bubble bursts!



(((Part 2)))


***Me to conscience***

Conscience!
Are you awake?
Sorry for disturbing
But, this question in my head...
It’s really bugging

Do I need to kill you brother?
Or should I let you live?
Do I need to be like others?
Or is it the chance I should give?


(((Part3)))


***Conscience to me***

You!
I’m your conscience...
So, listen up!
Are you really trying hard?
Or have you given up?
Is it success that you want?
Is that what you choose?

If you do... then I’ll say
No matter how hard you play
In the end you’ll loose!
Who are you fooling, dear brother?
Me?
Am I the one?
There’s no hiding from me brother!
All you can do is run!


You can’t kill me
We are ONE!
I can’t BE when you’re gone
And you know you can’t live
When I’m done
For good
