Wounded, lost and Bruised Lot
By: Sumera. B. Reshi
Look here, and look there
Look around, and everywhere
Everyone is lost in their virtual world
Some for love, and some for fun
In the offices, schools, and colleges
They’re lost in buses, and on roads
Walking, wounded, and bruised
To an anonymous land, they are moving
Indifferent, aloof and despised of the real world
Insensitive, offhand and heedless lot
Moving along an unknown path
Unmindful of the destination but on an aimless journey
They smile as if insane, they talk as if imprudent
Quite naïve, mindless and inane of the ambience,
In clusters, guys and gals, young and old
Busy in chats, calls, voice notes and photos
Unaware of the human feelings and sentiments
All are lost in virtual reality, far off from the real world
Unmoved, impervious, unresponsive and careless,
All walking like a zombie movie of yesteryears
As if aliens from celestial space have bit them all
Not to suck the blood but to take emotions out of their heart
Look here, and look there
Look around, and everywhere
With heads down and eyes focused,
Only fingers are at work
As if they have lost all the sense, except the sense of touch
Look at fathers, look at mothers, all are busy in their own world.
All are sleep, delusion and fantasies,
Unaware of the real world and human bond.
Wounded, distressed and bruised they walk
To an anonymous world do they march.
Look here, and look there,
They all are lost, lost completely lost.
