ROAD OF LIFE


Once
this road of life
was soft and smooth
lined up on both sides
by verdant trees of love and shade
through which we
trod along hands in hands.
Those were days we
enjoyed the sweet breeze,
fragrance of the flowers
and fruits with our
hearts full to the brim.
Now
this road of life
has turned crater-filled
along which we tread
along a tediously
dangerously, haphazard path 
with the old trees of love and shade 
seen nowhere
which are replaced by
lines of concrete demons of hatred,
indifference and mutual suspicion.   
Fortunately or unfortunately
being a man who is a
witness of both what is left is to sit
with my tongue tied
looking forward to the uncertain future……...
