Blinding Lights

-

Everyone was beaming today after epochs

Brightened faces with wrinkles

The old mother who hadn’t smiled since ages smiled today

The thought of sufficient food for even a person had never crossed their minds

They had embraced malnutrition just like the poverty which now seemed chronic to them

This light of unlimited food for all of them by the leader was too bright for them

This meant the old hag didn’t have to wash away her little breaths now,

By washing other people’s clothes

This meant that dad didn’t have to see his bloody hands ever again

I was very happy as a child but my dad wasn’t smiling

I asked him whats the matter

He told me these lights

They’ve enlightened his life way too many times before

But all the lies pushed him into the darkness much more

So now these lights don’t help his gloom

Because

“Not seeing light is better than seeing a blinding one”

Just do it and leave, Just like you did to her. Just because she was a 5 year old didn't give you the right to do anything,  Nothing ever will. But just do it. I'm your sister right, do it to me as well, ruin my life too, Like you ruined hers. She had just started taking her first steps,  And you took the worst ones with her. Just rape me, brother. Well, You can't. Because I'm strong, Like every woman out there, Every woman who will stand u...

Silence.

Silence This silence helps us understand the purpose of our life  A second of silence brings peace and harmony to our confused mind Silence stops all the negative thoughts A minute of silence helps us immensely. But, With some people, d eep down It starts a chain reaction One which nobody wants Their greatest fears, their worst guilt, the sad feelings Buried under the day to day race of life All rise up Out from their graves Haunting them again So maybe Not everyone needs silence some people need chaos A lot of it.
