Burnt souls and sold love :: A poem

in #life7 years ago (edited)

You see faces but no identity!!
You see bodies without a destiny!!

cars slowing down their pace!!
men looking out of the window, which one to chase!!

Every night when you drive back home!!
You have crossed that road where love is sold!!

Witnessed night selling its own gleamy beauty!!
to the souls searching artificial love on secluded dark roads of the city!!

The beauty of the moon swallowing the brightness of sunshine!!
Dawn every morning waking up to a thought that was not equally shrined!!

But tonight, the look at you as the car slows down?
Don't look at you to gaze and stare,
Instead, take a moment and give them a smile,
To show them, that your care!!

Because if u look closely to those girls and dresses,
You might notice something that nobody addresses!

Behind those shiny clothes and make-up so wild,
You'll see a compassionate mother, desperate to earn for her child!!

You'll notice a helpless burning soul in the midst of need and desperation,
You'll see infants nurtured outside shut doors, a thousand died aspirations!!

You'll see wealthy groping the poor young girl's skin,
Endlessly waiting for the daughter, parents missing her smiley grin!

She was just 16 when she went missing from her hometown,
While her parents kept waiting to see her in the bride gown!!
She reached city amidst slaughter, She never saw her family again,
She was sold, while still a daughter!!
Dressed-up in a bride's outfit lies down on a bed of tyrants,
With the pain thinking was she cursed, to be bitten by ants!!

How can you even try and bury them in,
A fairy, that has been cremated within

Thank You
