GAGGED MOUTHS


City remained gagged today
Citizen remained gagged today
it was a deceptive silence
an eery silence enveloped the city………
The hustle and bustle
beat a hasty retreat
shops remained shut
vehicles kept off the roads
offices and temples of learning remained closed.
Commuters got stranded
at the bus stations,
railway stations,
cursing their fate
unexpected it was
everything unexpected
city dwellers dared not
to come out of their shells
fearing the response
of the frightening faces organizers of
the lightning strike.
City was silent today
it was a deceptive silence
an eery silence
a city sitting over a time-bomb
which could explode
anytime, any moment, any second……..
