Respect I Accord, Afraid People Are ! (Poem)

Posted by | Jan 26, 2021 |

-Shekhar Bastakoti Respect, honor and appreciation are my Mother’s teaching, That I accord to all but they are afraid of me I dont know why? I have taken nothing from anyone except from my parents, Giving, appreciating and serving is the schooling, they bother why? Perceptions are created, fabricated and disillusioned but humanity, Remains pure, patriarch and natural in its safest form of solid purity! Thats why crooks create drama, pretend superior and powerful, But, how long the drama goes on to the players of treachery? Wow, everyone in the play creates plots to save ownself for slavery, Cuz there is no vision, plan and mission to envision a true bravery! Crushing the barriers of the past and envisioning a great path, Cuz puppets are the agents of power taking low slavery of bath! A cocoon brings the earthquake in the mentality of a professional, Who claims to be the example of work, honesty and empowerment! Shocked to see the pretended greatness of such so called professionals, I hesitate myself to claim to be a dedicated working professional! I dont know why people sail the pretentious boat of honesty? I dont know why respected personality fall prey of cheating? Finally two breads, an habitat, a proud living must be with them, Why do they forget that there is no pocket in their funeral pyre? I am in quest of...
