Dussehra Dilemma


What if the person in front of you
is not expecting you to realize your mistake 
What if they want you to burn
To burn and to cry
What if they are just looking for revenge
What if they are trying to wash their own sins
By throwing you in the sea
What do you do?
Will you too create an arrow?
 With countless names in your head
Will you too aim it at Ravan?

Because only he seems to be able to take it all.

A lot of money but no overcoat

In the middle of an isolated street
Well, filled with known faces
Eyes continuously searching for similarity
Wearing a tiny lace all over
Slowly uncovering the secrets
The patches of delusion
Mixed with reds and blues of reality
Cigarette in cold hands
And ashes on the ground
You could feel the wind against your face
The teeth chattering and lips shivering

A lot of money but no overcoat
