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.
