ONLY CHARACTERS CHANGE

A farmer consumed pesticide
the other day
and bid adieu to all.
Debt-ridden he was
drought-hit his harvests
shylock extracted his
pound of flesh
and went
away coolly.
Daily phenomenon it.
An young IT professional
unable to withstand
24X7 work pressure
opted for the easy route
yesterday went away for good
leaving his wife and
child in the lurch.
Daily phenomenon it.
For want of extra dowry
a lady strangulated
and set ablaze by
her husband and in-laws
that also the other day.
Daily phenomenon it.
Inability to cope up
with modern life
more and more turn
depressed
more and more end up in mental asylums
as many commit ‘harakiri’.
Daily phenomenon it.
Famine kills thousands -
making compromise
with death.
Daily phenomenon it.
Elite amass money
elite enjoy power and pelf
pomp and pageantry
loose life and loose morals
but lead them to temples
and God men seeking mental peace
and offer oblations in abundance
yet a life of harmony
still eludes them.
Daily phenomenon it.
