Certainty Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

it is the uncertainty that is certain
and that sends a tremor in this life

you wake up and feel dejected at
the soft wind beating your face;

it is summer time,
wind does not feel soothing;

you watch the crow perched at
the edge of the roof staring at you;

someone will be arriving;

and your newspaper has nothing
special to tell except scary things that
make you vomit in the basin;

nothing is certain expect the time
that turns your hair black to gray
without you knowing.
