HEADLINES

(Poem written by Soumya Ray)

Buried or alive

Or buried alive

All make the headlines

For you and me it is mere news

For him it’s life

For you and me , it’s black and white

For him it’s more of light

For you and me it’s a mere fact

For him it’s life

Keep away!! they say,

While they investigate the crime

But while they investigate the crime

They are kept away from his lived life

Their investigation makes the headlines

All are drawn to these headlines

All are amazed with the lines

But in his lived life, he hides from making the headlines

Being in the crowd

Hiding in the crowd

Staying below the ground

Indistinguishable he is

Part of all he is

Inseparable he is

But today as he lies

All make headlines

To be buried alive or otherwise,

The gathered lot, talk a lot

To make all the headlines
