☆ Atonement…  ☆

☆

Knoweth not why the gusty wind was not repentant

When it flew off those sleeping birds from their nests

☆

Why  don’t you be weary of  those hapless people,

You may not know what all  they’ve gone  through

☆

Even the trials and tribulations sorely faced by them

May never get etched  on the epitaph  at their graves

☆

Don’t get consumed by the vague convictions, galore

That may not be pragmatic for the world, any more

☆

One  stands so precariously on the edge of oblivion

Who once was known for breaking the wall of fame

☆

Don’t ever let  the  conceited  vanity  ruin  you  over,

Must atone sometimes in the moments of loneliness!
