Much oft Experienced

How much grief is being poured in along the trodden ways 

The tired feet, the filthy feet, walks along wearyingly on a piteous journey

The worthless directions are vehemently denied by love; oft there are disagreements

It is about what has been heard and by whom they were narrated

Where gladness has always meant distressing the lovely dreams and reading their lengthy lamentations

Foolish fearlessness and opportunists’ enthusiasm for revelling the genuine drama

Of brokenness, misdirected journeys, manipulations, fatal convenience

Life seems to buzz through all this, igniting a harrowing experience of helplessness

~Amitav
