haves & have nots (?)

Ayushi Kapoor
Nov 8 · 1 min read

empty minds to fill

thoughts, dreams, scattering and fading

cities sleep – calm and distant

while under the bridge a different place is cascading

made of broken promises, glimpses of hope and tireless wandering

of no expectations,of indifference to optimism

desperation and desire

spreading till the windows of the cars

and the pavements on the streets

trying to reach the window above

only to fall far beneath

voiceless and unheard

seen and dismissed

a vicious cycle with wheels that we run

moves unaware of the bane in its midst

pity

not the ones who struggle to make day and night meet

but the ones

who witness the struggle, lament, hope for the better, but end it all with a good night’s sleep

Ayushi Kapoor
