Terror hits

I had come across a particular real life story a few days back, about the lone survivor in a family which was wiped off in a blast. The story of the lone survivor who has now lost all hopes was so touching. Here goes my version.

They ripped apart this life
They ripped apart its hope
They darkened the morrows, with those shots
And I live torn, with long gone happiness

Long way ahead seem darkest of darkest
Even glimmers of hope brutally guillotined
Will this survive one more of those hits
I wish, at least I do not survive to write on that

Would have wished if it were a bit less painful
Would have wished if it were to come soon
Would have wished if it were to come silent and scoop me off
But then what difference would it make now that I'm left numb
Yes , but now I wish I could mourn my own loss
But this terror has left me so barren that even tears elude

Caught in Tornado

Recently I had come across a news item which showed miseries faced by a particular family torn by several tragedies. The story was heart rending and it kept haunting me for days. In my own way I'll try to say what the lady of that house was saying in between sobs.


One feels really lost,
As the years fly by, life amidst,
Tears fill the mind,
As the heart takes the brunt.

One moves ahead, wobbling,
With the filth of grief engulfing,
The rest of what is left,
Of this misery called life.

Tossed up and down,left and right,
In an ocean of plain bitterness,
One is left struggling for breath,
With only one thing in wait.

Adventures of mine

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.
- G. K. Chesterton

I don't know in what context did G K Chesterton make the above statement. But in this time of a wrongly considered adventure of mine I find it apt to use.

More often than not I've felt that the people of the cross section of society that I 've seen in this part of the world is by nature in a state of a sort of moral putrefaction which give their thoughts an inclination towards assuming that 'unless proven innocent, you are guilty'.

Now that you are already looked upon as despicable, the lion's share of your mental strength goes in holding back the tears and nursing the bleeding gash on your mind.

Now, you have two options. You can accept that you are worthless and take their suggestions or You can fight back and prove that you were and are right in your place.

If you are too shattered you may choose to accept their suggestions.

But if you are too shattered that it makes you feel deprived of your right to live your own life , fight back. Not at them, as they don't deserve even to be fought with. Fight back at the negative energy building within you, because there are better tomorrows and to be happy you need to be content only with yourself.

As life goes on, somewhere down the line you will learn to forgive too. As life goes on somewhere down the line you will learn to smile at them too....
