Rings of Smoke

Where shall the word be found, where will the word | Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence

we meet people,everyday,
see,touch,hear,hug,
speak,glare,evaluate,weigh them,
in scales-
cost benefit analysis
in calculations of relationships,
the business of liking people,
collaterals submitted in friendships,
laughing at unfunny jokes,
tolerating idiotic whims,
restraining rebellion,
we smother ourselves,bit by bit,
the real submerged,
in a sea of the ersatz,
we live on,brick by brick,
cementing facades.

  • About The Line under the Blog Name

    The lines generally are from some poem which I have, at some point of time or the other, loved. I do not mean, by including them, to be snotty or pretentious- but I would love it if you could identify the lines, and take much joy if you were interested enough to search them and read the original poems. If not- you can ignore them.
