Swirls in turbulence
rhythm in cacophony
pattern in randomness
melody in disharmony
inspiration in conflict
perfection in divergence
art in a mess
connect in asunder
novelty in mundane,
If you pause and observe
there is beauty in chaos too!
Pillars, concrete, skyscrapers,
greens gobbled up by the greys
the natural rocky terrain
bulldozed recklessly,
fly overs crisscrossing
a congested mayhem prevails.
Erratic weather, hotter summers
whimsical moods of the rains
winters gone into hibernation,
the starry night sky enshrouded
under a perpetual veil of smog.
Commuters braving the
serpentine traffic lines
inching ahead at snails pace
blatant disregard to rules
patience a waning virtue
burdened by stress and chaos.
Calm and relaxed lifestyle
seems to be a dream of yore.
Where is my city heading to,
in the name of progress,
Can’t it see the deadly noose
waiting to choke it to death?
Please pardon my rant…..the result of getting stuck in a traffic jam for over 2 hours!
The order of life
victim of nature’s fury
sheer chaos prevails!
In response to TJ’s haiku challenge – Chaos & Order
Day 14 – ** Theme : Kaleidoscope of thoughts**
Bustling streets, screeching tyres,
blaring sirens, blinking lights,
blowing horns, choking voices,
smoky air, buildings galore
depleting trees, warmer days,
hooting trains, traffic snarls,
Lost in the chaotic city!
******
Malicious minds, venomous tongues
shattering dreams, scattered feelings
illusionary happiness, tired souls,
heated infernos, eroding values
disconnected families, strained relationships,
Lost in the waves of emotional behaviour!
********
Mired in the mayhem of
turbulent perceptions,
in the mundane and humdrum,
in the anarchic lifestyle
the mind and the soul
wander in search to emerge
out of the crooked maze
rambling like nomads,
Totally lost!
