WASHOUT
Right
fellows, I feared for life,
Myopia
crawling in my nerves,
The
feeling when it is dark, sickening,
Start
trembling at my shadows,
At
the sight of a spider shrieking,
A
widening net at the corner of a wall,
Unexplained
hunting effects,
As
if someone is planning my death,
Closed
windows come evening,
Unexpected
vent lurking there,
Outside
my house, wait patiently,
Watch
me alert for movements,
Felt
one following me,
Stopped
walking on the road,
Shopping
malls lighted noisy,
Spreading
beautiful music,
Ecstatic
old film songs, enjoyable,
Sensed
my heart, hunting melody,
Shivered
on the open ground, paralyzed,
Music
I felt only for me, a message,
Dissected
meanings of the film song,
Apparently
felt words reading me,
How
come they played a song?
The
way I feel these days in fear,
Fearing
now people crowded place,
Who
knows, killers are waiting,
The
story is not fiction the truth,
Thousand
innocent humans feel,
Feel
exactly like this never says,
Ask
inquisitively, goes a face pale,
Acts
like unaware, least affected,
Fear
the media, political leaders,
Worried
about children, innocent,
Fear
kidnapping family members,
Anticipate
finding dead bodies,
In
most undesirable places laying,
Every
call in mobile shrinking,
Sense
Halloween ghost calls,
A
nameless, faceless voice disturbs,
Fails
to trap number anonymous,
Pay
fortune details demarcated,
Informing
police, disaster waiting,
How
many corporate leaders got,
Film
personalities, business people,
How
many young girls of repute,
Get
a threatening call with impunity,
Sterile
arms of law police clueless,
The
underworld thrives, growing,
Multi-headed
hydra hot news,
Growing
up at another place or time,
Maybe
a male or female voice,
Threat
decent people with pictures,
Honey-trapped
men victimized,
Silently
bleeding, fear a revelation,
Fear
for self-image, status, family,
Evil
grows at an unthinkable locality,
Posh
locality suave personality exists,
Car,
bungalows, business unknown,
A
crowd enters villas in late hours,
Hardly
local people know them,
Shadowy
perused invite dander,
Stops
telling our civil society,
Urban
life, rich and famous, respected,
Protected,
move freely, speak,
Listen
to voice obeyed in respect,
Watched
this picture silently, willfully,
Safe
and secured, looked away,
Saving
myself the wisest decision.
Halt,
hello, educated, intelligent one,
Society
found wolves hunting,
Catching
evil life cut short guise,
Exposed
before media by dawn,
Alacrity
news spread length-breadth,
Collapses
evil empire suddenly,
Fled
the country or imprisoned,
The
head of the hydra sees washout.
