A Commoner Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan

A Commoner



One more day gone, fast and quick
Living cost up a kite, not tick by tick.
Pocket so thin and list too thick,
Vultures all round, to hook and pocket prick.

A commner has only a day normal
Cannot dream of any abnormal
Easy prey to all practises mal
Just gasps at the gush in the nearby mall.

Pending bills at him stare;
All things his due are but stale.
Cope up how is his quest of mind
Soap operas, only solace, his, to put things behind.

Narayanan Ramakrishnan.

'Harsh Realities of life is pictured as a painting'. I liked its rhythm and essence.
