A lonely rose
A daring rose
Smiling at the brute scorching heat
laden with dust and filth
How daring it is !!!!!
Why doesnt it complain ???
Is it free from pain???
Or doesnt it know the world vain???
or is sheer its innocence
or only a deceptive pretence???
Of hiding its pain behind a hollow smile
How innocent it is !!!!
Smiling at its enemy lover
it symbolises love
but plucked by a lover
for his beloved
or whosoever
Hey !!! dear innocent rose....
This diabolic human world is not humane
your effort to spread love
would end in vain....
