SKETCHED IMPRESSION

 

SKETCHED IMPRESSION

Life, dream of paradise and comfort,

Paranoia or disappointment, escort,

Privilege, favor, and honor continue,

Humans deprived the place because (1)

 

Glass mansion, sweet home family,

They glow and show, proud simply,

Often boast at all costs, or the most.

Hunger, poverty, insane heart frost, (2)

 

Mere complaint, angry voice reacts,

Instant solution provision soon act,

In fact, distract the request, ignored,

Illiteracy, the curse laborers secured, (3)

 

Sickness, health, hospital, or doctors,

Status and position acquired, ensure,

Dishearten the sight, sick, medicine,

Lack treatment doctor life entwine, (4)

 

Children with ambition, big birds fly,

Skeletal figure, a child looks, feels sigh,

Distant dream, the school and book,

Distant the teacher, bright outlook, (5)

 

An urban female designed apparel,

Polished interactions dress marvel,

Sophisticated lifestyle or educated,

Domestic menial works, frustrated, (6)

 

San ornaments vehicles, the female,

Life encompassed toil, poor and frail,

The narrow gully and stinking drain,

Amazes boulevard, lampposts, train, (7)

 

 

Window curtains, lighted a garden,

Pet dog barks stark pictures taken,

Sketched impression, city stirring,

A paradise or a myopic feeling, sings. (viii)
