The Great Deception - Adulteration

They say food is life, a sacred thing,
But poison’s hand has touched every spring.
From fields to plate, a wicked game,
Where greed is god, and health a flame.

They grind our bones into flour so white,
And water down the milk of night.
With every bite, a death knell rings,
As poison seeps into our very beings.

No longer nourishment, but a slow demise,
A silent killer, with devilish eyes.
We’re cattle fed on tainted grass,
Doomed from the start, a hopeless mass.

Blazing Shadows (Rhyming Version)

Clouds made of suns are again around me,
I was trying to be relaxed, they don’t let me be.
They make their visit when I least expect ’em,
Burn my skin with their ruthless flame.

I don’t like these clouds that are circling around,
And turning into a cyclone to drag me down.
I’m losing my vision, my breaths are falling short.
To continue this fight, I of’n lack my forte.

Pretty distractions can't shield my head,
No umbrella for the dread.
Morning comes, and they're still there,
With flames so hot, too much to bear.

’Twas after so many days I was feeling alright,
Turned out I flunked to escape, maybe in’t I’m a neophyte.

Blazing Shadows

Lately, I am struggling to face the clouds
They are not the ones I love, floating in the sky
These are the burning clouds, made of suns
Cruel in their nature, they always roam above my head

Pretty distractions I rely on, ain’t capable enough
To become an umbrella, protecting my head
It’s just the morn, and they are here
Weighing me down with their flames, too hot to bear

They drag me to the places I don’t want to visit,
Now I am bleeding again, with no first aid available
Feeling like my breaths are also falling short,
My vision sometimes becomes blurry
Because of the smokes of the clouds inflame

It’s a painful cycle I often get trapped in,
No escape is able to save me for long
Is there anyone hearing,
The quiet sound of my gradual falling?

White Failed to Impress

I wanted to impress you,
Tried a few times, but never knew,
I would fail each time and rue.
You may not believe’t, but ’tis true.

Every time I tried, deterrents came.
My love for you, I couldn’t claim.
I am irresolute if all my attempts were lame,
And impressing you was ne’er my game.

Once I saw you at a lonely place.
I tried to reach you, and embrace;
But I fell flat, couldn’t take my pace.
’Twas dumb of me to think I’d succeed apace.

Then, one day, you suddenly showed up on my way;
I looked at you with glee, and whispered a “hey!”
Thought I almost made’t, you’d hold’nd take me away.
I failed again, you didn’t accept me; left me in dismay.

I failed to impress you, dear Death!
I felt almost accepted when my health deteriorated,
And I was lying in a hospital bed;
I was waiting and wanting to be dead.

But you didn't let it betide,
Just came to make your visit and deride.
Tell me, dear Death, where you went to hide?
When will you return? I am waiting for you, this side.

Detached

I was reading a blog on the website of Psychology Today,
“Sense of belonging is a basic need,” it did say.
Got thoughts while reading, and thought to write this poem,
I’m growing in a different way, it seems, I don’t feel like I belong.
’Twas fun Friday going on at workplace, involving all office-people,
I didn’t participate, indulged scrolling desktop screen, sitting in my cubicle.
Ze often ask why I’m so non-participative,
And suggest me to participate and become active.
None of ’em understands I ne’er get the urge to participate,
Socialising is something I always negle’t.

I enjoy readin’ books or listenin’ to songs,
And prefer enjoying company of my own,
With others I don’t get along.
I’m all detached, to nothin’ & none I belong.

Options Unavailable

I don’t have options,
I go to a home where I don’t feel at home.
Right after reaching there,
I start to think about leaving the city again.
I don’t know why I don’t feel any connection,
Post 2017, if I’m remembering it correctly,
I stopped feeling good there.

Bus journey to the city is more beautiful and pleasing,
Than that so-called home.
I don’t know what they mean,
When they say about excitement of home comeing.

I can guess why, but don’t know how I’ve become this way.
I try my best but all I feel is cold,
And it feels depressing as fuck.
I’ve my whole life ahead,
Now I am just 22 years old, damn!

Once every month, I go home.
With no excitement of home coming,
Though, I feel really good,
Only till I am inside the bus.
All the good feeling fades
With the end of the bus journey.
I feel kinda bored,
Sort of suffocation I get.
’Tis weird, as it sounds, I know.
I cannot remember,
What, when, & where the things went wrong.
’Tis what ’tis, I wrote what I feel.
I’m this way since years now,
Disconnected.

Empty Playlist
(Extended & Rhyming Version)

Hey, Fneneo!
I got a thing to tell thee.
I know ’tis not in the knowledge of thou.
Almost half or one year ago,
On Spotify, I created a playlist for thou,
With Hindi songs, not many but three.
Of thy face, those songs used to remind me.
Occasionally, I used to lis’n to ’em,
I named the playlist “Fneneo,” ’tis thy encrypted name.

Here’s a twist I got
’Twas unexpected, unbelievable, something I ne’er thought.
A few months ago, I checked the playlist, ’tis still there, public & visible,
But the songs I added ain’t anymore available
I e’en manually searched for ’em on Spotify, but I’m unable
I don’t know and ’ave no idea where did ze go
Why I ain’t able to find ’em, why ze ain’t there anymo’e?

Post-August 2019, there started a tale
Which this poem will try to tell
From a youths’ place, this story does hail

Ahead in this poem, ’twill unfold
What, to date, was unshared and untold
’Tis something that will ne’er get old
There were two stranger souls
They knew none, nor each other, at all
But somehow, time was playing its ’ole

Gradually, it came a day, in front of an internal entrance gate
Ze got to know each other, ’twas the place where first ze met
When One got stuck in things, a helping hand the Other led
And the story’s founding stone it did set

Eventually, betwixt ’em, a bond was made
Ze didn’t talk regularly, but the bond didn’t fade
Each with a secret but none of ’em shared
To tell each other, none of ’em e’er dared
One got a feeling, thought to take the steps next
Completely unaware of becoming Other’s one of the best’

Once, One’s mind changed, supposed steps were ne’er taken
But remained one of the bests for the Other, ’twas always this same
Days, months, and years have passed
’Tis hard to recall when ze met last

One day, a short message the Other sent
And informed ’bout an upcoming & especial event
’Twas the message the Receiver couldn’t ignore
’Cause ’twas from someone the Receiver always did adore
Happiness was felt in the Receiver’s heart
The date for the event on calendar got marked
A date when two souls were finally ’bout to meet
E’en if for a few minutes only, ’twas still worth it
A few days later, it came the day
To meet the Other, One traveled a 3-hours way
On the next day, One reached a few hours after the noon
Hoping to meet the Other, very soon
But was also mentally prepared for a long wait
Other’s new life was about to begin, Ze’s meeting was bound to be late
Ze finally met around 01:30 AM in the night
Ze greeted, shook hands, smiled, talked for a few minutes, and then goodbyed

For You
My dear Someone
I am trying to write a poem
Unable to write

No, not because I am overthinking
There’s nothing like that, really
But because I want
To express and hide it all at the same time
