CROSSING THE ROAD

Folder: 
Satish Verma

You flock to a set trap. 
A bubble. 
Midnight: with pain 
and anger, when a real and virtual drama 
unfolds. 
Mercy waits. 

Meditating: still 
like a Buddha, a moon was 
watching you. 

Watching you, 
a moon, like a Buddha: 
still, meditating. 

Innocence versus 
ignorance. A mob impaled 
on the doorstep of future, 
unsure, but agitated. 

Life demands a full beheading.
