Residue
I am a result of every derisive compromise
Remainder in imperfect division by the unwise
I find my shelter in unbalanced equation
Unfortunate atrocities and oppression
I thrive on the indecision of a frail, greedy, selfish
mind
On boundaries drawn by you, mankind
Residing in the ill-conceived decree
I ensure that ‘Thou shalt not be truly free’
I propagate through underground movements
And breed in disconsolate hearts of refugee tents
Skulking furtively behind the scene,
I take softness and youth out of kid and teen
On the sidelines in forced times of peace,
I am a hidden sign of a chronic disease.
Often stoked by corrupt souls,
I soar my head from the gallows’ poles.
I am a catalyst, a medium, a
self-fulfilling prophecy
Masquerading as a maudlin mob, a
misguided youth, or an unthinking army
You feed my core, and forge me more.
Till your soul is weak and mind not free
I will scourge you and create more debris.
Only to be harvested by a power-hungry few,
I am nothing but the unaccounted ‘residue’.

bhai, kya likhne lag gaya hai tu!! Sell this to Linkin Park..they'll make a song out of it and you will make a million :D
awesome...should make the first page of your resume...rather should be taught with nursery rhymes so that our coming generations should be prepared for this unsaid insidious rule of the few
The residue blocks your vision, your mind it fogs
But the 'wise' discover it, and put it in blogs :)
Awesome expressions..cracking rhymes!
