(All of the literature written by me was for self satisfaction. Today, I present my contemporary poem ‘Barricades …..’. .))
☆ Weekly Column – Abhivyakti # 26 ☆
☆ Barricades ….. ☆
Barricades are erected on the road of life.
Experienced senior guards are vigilant
to regulate the speed of life
Sometimes some vehicles break
barricades and signals.
Sometimes someone bounces
stones of insensitivity
to spoil the non-violent atmosphere.
Then – power and forces are applied;
the lawmaker is bigger than persuader.
Why did you erect
so many barricades of
caste, religion, and sect.
Some barricades were erected
in our mind by us.
Some barricades were erected
by benefactors and you.
Often, we become puppets.
Then challans of negativity
are kept cut lifelong.
Hopefully!
You can remove barricades to see across
A positive life
A new dawn
A new sunrise.
