Like it or not
the eventuality is crossing
that of a strong lobbying
and a sort of bullying
a process of distorting
truth and relying on lies
has become the fashion of the day
going in for a strike
and getting in for a blow
both might happen
as we do not know
which side is strong
and which is not
as the power lies
with powerful and
also with the wealthy.
The discrimination
of who is good
and trustworthy
and who is bad
and treacherous
lies in the hands of the
commoners who
pose a strength but
who get stuck in the middle
enticed by the gifts
that are distributed
and promises thrown through
but blows out in the air
Tag: promises
inflict a constraint all along.
Vows are made in the face of challenges
that exceed at times beyond the ranges.
Promises sworn in times of emergency
lay a refrain in days of urgency.
Vow to do a deed is a no mean achievement
leading to a pronounced denouement.
Promises of merit are to kept at any cost
as otherwise they seem a meaningless slot.
Both are dead easy to confirm and construct
as long as they remain a mere wordy instruct.
Vows take the cue from anger and pain.
At times they proceed to a bloody slain.
Promises are born out of will and necessity.
Most times they rob life out of immunity.
Vows and promises should not come down as rain.
They are to be proposed with out vain.
A hushed silence was established.
A compelled uneasiness was felt.
A sensitive embarrassment was experienced.
A dullness spread around.
How to bring about normalcy?
How to diffuse the gathered animosity?
How to lighten the tension?
Questions crowded the mind.
It was an echo of deceit.
It was anything but farce.
Words read false.
Promises become unkempt.
Actions expose vengeance.
Slander runs amuck.
It was betrayal in the run.
It was an unpleasant shun.
It was an unapproved fun.
So all went beyond the gun.
