The Confluence Of People

Having been with the crowd for long

participating in every event

with  a full mind at times

and half mindedly most times

going by the rules of the community

and respecting the call of the elders

have now decided to get away from  the commitments

as it brings with it nothing desirable

a bag of gossip and a container of comments

good or bad  depending on the subject

mostly  biased  all throughout

a sequence that had brought heart burns

and a confluence that lands us in unwanted trouble

sitting there pretty well for a long time

but in the end getting meaningless messages

which lack authenticity and prudence

mostly turning out to be a  bug bear

and a  convention releasing no joy.

The confluence of people unlike that of rivers

stage a  dim  spectacle of irrational exchange.
