Meenas Poems A view not aired
a thought not shared
is always private in a way
most would discuss all day
others would reserve their stock
never want to put forth to the flock
being each one’s demands all through
never try to generalize in true.
Funny it might look
but it has a serious impact.
Grave it might appear
but would be very frivolous.
Thus the happenings and events command
demanding an insight keen.
Going by the appearance is deceptive
A clown who makes other people laugh
carries a heavy feeling internally
laughing outside he weeps inside.
Playing pranks to please others
sustains him and his family
While he does comical interludes
he breaks down with an inclusion within his circle
as he pours out his bottled up emotions.
The deluge of interceptions make him a tragic hero.
Whereas a man who cries uncontrollably on stage
creates a scene and pulls his audience alongside
has a peaceful life at home living in prosperity and cheer.
These two supposed schedules on stage and on real life
give a gist of what is transpiring amongst us.
Many among us put a bold face in times of sorrow.
Many more amongst us become sad at the slightest intrigue.
Such controversial stuff by which man is made off
presenting a dull comprehension and a frugal basics
coping with difficulty in the worldly strife.
