HALLUCINATE

 

HALLUCINATE

 

Write off innumerable hurdles faced,

Forgotten blunders insanity commits,

Alibis plenty for mistakes noble mind,

Disregards pleading soul self supreme,

Portrayed saintly face hidden jealousy,

Detached painted the face rob jewelry,

Unattached passionate mind lovelorn,

Saving the sick, serving the hungry, needy,

Gimmickry can fox people successful,

Proclaim staunch believer of Lord too,

Loot behind God, peace life shattered,

Conviction of hallucinated spirit vivid,

Build an empire of injustice clean show,

Fooled a population clapping praises, (1)

 

Most popular, an eminent personality,

People believe him totally addressed,

Accept advice followed honesty abbey,

Rose, like a phoenix out of scenarios,

Dominate as a destiny of time clapped,

Thousands of such men turned leaders,

treat world is under their feet, readers,

Instantly mind hallucinate crumpled,

A dirty, torn waste paper blown by the wind,

Alacrity gripped the country, baffling,

How come the powerful arms were broken, (2)

 

Sighted a beggar rose rapidly wealthy,

Amass properties money spellbound,

Disbelieve money can multiply soon,

The tallest tower fleet of cars is a boon,

Secret, top secret, hands manipulated,

Nobody can guess checks fail to escape, (3)

 

Secretively saw landlord, concubines,

Amorous life is luxurious, haughty rude,

Built an empire of guards, protected tightly,

God's access to the fort is impossible,

Such hallucination enslaves a creature,

Life encounters lives blinded suture,(4) 

 

Lured once hearts of a million total,

The news was her eyebrows, lips, navel,

From an unknown city to the limelight soon,

Minted gold diamond studded shoes,

Awestruck, the public paid ransom meekly,

One sight, just one sight of her glance,

Melted thousand young heart wild feet,

Running to and fro, crippled conscience,

Hallucination captured another victim,

Hay her hair whitening she is coloring,

The wrinkled face and her skin lost glow too,

Hours of makeup plaster painted wait,

She meant money in seconds enormous,

That amount bundle of money ignored,

Not enough earn more tirelessly edict,

A lifetime scientist, doctor, engineer, earning,

Less than the rate of the female in an hour. (5) 

 

Fumbled by now to coin words flow,

Shivering nerves shakes finger to pen,

Awestruck world blindly hallucinate,

A rose, a wineglass, ill communicate. (6)
