Escape

(From the book, “A CRUCIAL Journey of LIFE Begins”)

When a shadow of trouble
Follows firmly to anyone,
Slowly and steadily
Increases one by one.
 
At first, they want to escape from one,
But cannot escape from that one,
As it hangs in line- next one
In the way, clings another one.
 
Desperately, they try to escape one by one,
Though they ignore any of one,
It sticks again, aside next one
Terrifying them making clone;
 
Though it’s difficult to escape
From all these ones.
 
They want to escape from a terrible one,
Spreads gossip about them
By one person to other one,
And the other to another one in chain.
 
Then, to the people all over around,
By social networks, all the things get surround;
Now, a terrible one becomes the biggest one,
Shocks badly, they yell at home.
 
To escape from that big one in whole,
Cries themselves, as it’s too late to bear these all.
 
Now, they cannot breathe finally,
Carrying the biggest loads, soul escapes;
The body remains deeply sleeping,
In this Earthly landscapes.
