did you?
that behind every sigh
is an unanswered reason why
people mottle into greys and blues
and why fictional sob stories often turn true
that under each crushed fallen leaf
you may find a spider's web
a overturned fiasco
for you may have just erased a creature's bed
that in every misty-eyed deer
you will find the ode of a fallen mate
who was laid seige to by braggarts in a stupor
and was felled by their inanimity and the cruel twist of fate
that in every drop of morning dew
you will find a whispering of a star
that deigned to lie there at your sodden feet
because you could not admire it from afar
that pandora's box was not to be opened;
it was only a test of temptation
that a flowing honest river of life
is not to stain or pollute;
it houses now, the graves of a million drinkers
a cesspool of filth and a mire of refuse...
that a piece of wood fashioned into a chair
is not to be fought over;
it now resembles a design of the godly powers
that is used to lord us over...
utekkare,
pranay

Pranay...I'm speechless...this is so sublime...so absolutely beautiful...your imagery just took my breath away. Esp loved the lines abt the deer, dew and river!
Pranay, this poem is truly fantastic. I'm tempted to reproduce all the little bits of it in my comment, but I'll refrain. What it says to me is that nothing is as it seems or everything, however mundane, has a depth that is not often obvious.
