Unnoticed

You pluck a leaf from the tree without much care,
Just like you force her to abort that girl child,
Thinking it wouldn't cause much pain.
You step carelessly on those daises bordering the pavement,
Just like you ignore that roadside poor hungry boy.
You don’t realize the roles they play.
You try to bonsai the plants,
Just like you try to control every aspect of your child’s life.
It’s for good, you say!
You plucked a frail unnamed flower and tore its leaves, playing a game that only you enjoy,
Just like you mock that boy calling him sissy because he varies from the conventional mainstream
You axe a tree and cause its fall,
Just like you ignore your old parents,
For their purpose is served.

Those axed trees, those unborn children, those unfinished tales – that go unnoticed;
Were all in the scheme of life, you think
Yet, you bring down the night sky on the park street roads;
Burning candles, like twinkling stars in your hand
And rent the air with thundering catchy slogans,
Trying to harmonize the discords
Promising to change the society for better!
