Vinita Nahata

Quarantine blues, nowhere to move,

No one to meet,
just staring at the streets,
...

Mother Earth began to groan with pain;

With a billion wounds and bloody strains,
...

Emotion can allure,

Emotion can empower,
...

I have been a Mom,

I am a Mom,
...

It's dark everywhere; no moon; no light,

Just darkness and a starless sky,
...

Nothing to laugh;
Nothing to weep,
Nothing to die for;
Nothing to live,
...

Errors, the teacher of ages,

Moving through many phases,
...

Life is a roller coaster,

With highs and lows,
...

A question often comes in my mind;

Why being childish is not fine?
...

I have some hopes;
I don't dare name,

I have some dreams;
...

Behind the screaming silence,
Behind the dictum, "it's fine'..

Heart pains, lips quake,
...

"Hey dude, would you mind if I dressed like you? "

"For, I believe, it's good enough for me, What's good for you! "
...

Are they fighting war?

Are they fighting election?
...

Fear: a mirror reflection of what I am;

The more I look at; the more I'm scared, ,
...

O Time! Take Me Back in Your Flight!

Make me again a child; at least for a while.
...

Taught me to survive the worst,

To fall with grace,
To rise with vengeance,
...

We come into the world with....

Neither possession; nor ownership,
...

I am no one special, I am sure,
I am but a commoner, with common thoughts,

Generally, I am lost in the crowd,
...

Conflict is plunged in human mind,

Like it or not, it is hostile.
...

 

Time changes circumstances;
...
