Indifference Poem by malini kadir

The cruel weapon
That makes the soft hearts weep
The toughest test of today's society

Unknown man with his time bound duty!
The staircases of steps to be taken
Elevated with button press; with ceaseless effort

Force of universe in its natural movements
The different stars, Sun, moon, planets in orbit
Who stopped to say hello?

Well; if you did you are the odd fellow!
Time is money
Words need to be needed
Surplus none
Around the city
More the pity!

Eyes watch, minds tick
Smiles irrelevant; human touch
Mechanically made

Truth said; man crazy did fade
Perhaps he lacks the grit
To take on responsibility?

It is the days of pass the buck!
So; his blame game
With excuses lame

In Rome do as Romans do
Is oft the chosen path
To avoid stress and wrath!

Easy! Does it baby!
Talk this way
When needed, talk the the other way;

Sometimes, the oddest times
Both sides of the coin visible
Quite confusing...; Real mind boggling......

Indifference here to make a difference
Solid stock of gritty people
Not swayed by sweet talk

Busy with his inner drive
Till his destiny will arrive
Hanging on the rope of hope!
