NO EFFECT
The change in leader of a state,
winning or losing of a political party
hardly have any effect on the common.
Their life and living remain same.
A farmer ploughs lands,
a laborer builds mansion,
a cobbler makes shoes,
a teacher teaches students,
a student takes lessons,
a doctor treats patients,
an engineer runs company,
a scientist seeks for truth,
a writer writes stories and novels,
a lawyer fights cases,
a businessman earns profit,
an artist creates new dimensions,
a prostitute calls clients,
I write poems...
Boys and girls fall in love,
undergo marriage or stay in live-in relation,
children are born
but I search for love.
A poor becomes poorer and a rich becomes richer.
A middle class may rise high or fall inside a manhole.
I try my best to rise
from good to better, from better to best.

Like a mixture of reality and bleakness. Yet life should be so much more! Drink drink my Mother's nectar, Ramakrishna used to say! Indeed a meaningful experience!
