Chasm Unexpected

 

it being a gathering’ a meeting after a long time

relatives and friends getting together

could be termed as a reunion.

 

The convention aimed at kinship

where the forgotten faces would be seen

the memories long would be revived

inducting a bondage and rejuvenation.

 

This confluence fell short of its motives

being there not cordial exchanges

mostly there was a comparison

of who is rich and powerful.

 

The interaction as it would be

was about all the defaults in the other

that he not responding an invitation

calling him a sneak and head strong.

 

The amiability was not to be deciphered

with scorn and contempt scoring high percentile

the purpose of the confluence getting defeated

the dispersal became a source of energy.

 

The meeting came to an end

with the date being fixed for the next one

could hear many grumble and mumble

expressing their dissent in a murmur.

 

The get together as they are fashionably acclaimed

never brings in a togetherness

instead they ensue a chasm unexpected

that be of status, power and wealth.
