The Irony In Fate Poem by Nishi Kumari

One day he woke up and missed the
sunshine on his face
For he couldn't see except the
darkness all around
Disturbed and insane he somehow
rushed outside
He could hear the people talking,
birds chriping and all morning
noises
Before the anxiety rushed all
through his nerves
Called his mother from a distance
his name
He screamed like an animal being
butchered recklessly
'Oh mother! I can't see'
Came she immediately for an embrace
of relief
His tears wet her chest like her
two years old child
Soon came the therapist and declared
him blind
For no medicines worked and the cure
became an impossible try
The anguish he suffered was
incomparable
'The day I woke up like that
The sun lost its shine
The sky lost its stars
The moon lost its silver
The rainbow lost its hues
The world got submerged in a
deadly dismal darkness it
could never recover from
And I lost the meaning to live'
For those who never knew how shinny
was the sun and how silvery was the
moon
How do they survive I wonder?
And I ponder who is more unlucky
They who never saw the light
Or I whose light got stolen
in a night?
And yet I think...
