THE VIEW

I was enjoying the view

Little did I realise it was curfew

A mob was here to protest

And their will power was soon put to test

The water gun was there in action

It was funny to see people’s reaction

As the mob drew closer, police ordered to charge

Considering their injuries, only few will get their discharge

The leaders condemned on facebook and twitter

And vowed they ain’t any quitter

Media reported all this in their glory

It was hard to not feel sorry

Whatever the month, there will always be a March

While people struggle to get their starch

Soon there was a protest to protest the protest

The helpless common man can only detest

Relevance has given way to publicity

What is to happen of this city?

Everyone resorting to the blame game

One can only say shame pretty shame

Even gods have vacated this place

Now who will save our face

Some things to just ponder over

Better act before it’s all over

For the moment let me enjoy this view

And imagine our future’s preview

Nonsense

I opened the door and there was Nothing. He was angry. Somebody told him that I said ‘Something is better than Nothing’. I asked him to calm down. People often say that Something will turn up. Well, Something was already here when Nothing came. He knew I was trying to hide Something. To settle the dispute, I told them to call Nobody. Nobody was the best in mending hurt feelings. So I called Nobody. The phone rang for sometime and Nobody answered. He said he was with Somebody but will come over immediately. We were waiting outside eagerly. Everybody passing through asked who we were waiting for?. And we said “Nobody in particular”. Nobody came with Somebody. Somebody looked sad. I asked what happened. ‘Things are not working for me anymore’, he said. ‘He got a new job’,he added. I told him not to worry and that Something will work for you and introduced him to Something. Nothing and Something were eagerly waiting for Nobody’s verdict. Nobody said ‘ It is nothing that Something is better and really something that Nothing is something’.  Everybody was happy to see all of us together. He said he would take a photo of us to commemorate the occasion. There was Something to the left of me,Nothing to the left of Something,Nobody to the left of Nothing and Somebody to my right.
