In the duality we stand! 

Close upfront- vivacious, 

Backdoor- doubtful, haunted! 

Haunted for self as I once doubted myself, 

Haunted for the world as it does haunts us in vivid details!  

Happy and resentful- at the same time,

Just as the sun and moon juxtaposes for a while! 

Cheerful and mournful- 

As if  I am in a duet with a devil! 

Devil horns swinging-

Singing lullaby for us to sleep-

And, then one day we rise, 

We are awakened –

Mocked and honked- at the same time! 

The dead are mocked, 

The living ones are surging in the suffrage-

For they can’t decide-

Decide to take left or right-

Instead they are circling round and round-

Round in the circus –

Round in the parameter lengthened! 

And, this rat race is not the end –

They will move and move untill the last breath!
