Only That.....

He had been happy once.
He had Smiled and He had laughed.
He had felt the pure joys of life.
He had felt the love.
He had been given the love and affection.
He had given it to others.
For he had been away from these maddening crowds.

He had been hurt at times.
He had felt sorrow.
He had felt sadness.
He had been annoyed.
He had been angry.
But it was just 'at times.'
For he has just entered into this maddening crowd.


He was hurt again..and again.
He ran.
He got tired.
He was hurt.....
He was forced and pushed....
For he was a part of the maddening crowd now...

It hurt so much for the first time.
For he resisted and fought back.
All in vain.
He screamed..and yelled....
He threw swears....
He called for the help...
He cried and prayed to the God...
For he was sure HE would help back...
He called and called...


Ahhhhhhh.....
The pain had become unbearable....
Suddenly it stopped.
He wont scream.
He wont yell.


Yes..He was RAPED!!

And after that pain got less..
Lesser and Lesser every time...
And finally ...
it did not matter...
Nothing at all....
For it was all like a Whore now...

Only that he wasnt PAID...
Only that...

Only that it was a Mind...
For he would have better been a Whore..!

Ab said...

oi, when i read this, i just thought of the innocence we lost...
like, when we was young, so many things were 'sin'... untouchable things... we resisted. it was unbearable...
then finally we gave in..
once given in, resistance kind of dissappeared... now we indulge without feeling guilty. we know more feel the burden of sin... in fact we just console ourselves that it is happiness.
(now for Gods sake, dont ask me for examples - its just "the loss of innocence")

Rachna Singh said...

thank you for visitig my blog
i appreciate this poem of your
a very good depth and pain has come out thru words
keep the good work going and if interested in reading my hindi poems please do visit
http://mypoemsmyemotions.blogspot.com/
also i am of the opinion that indian blogs can make a chain by putting up an indian flag on their blog . you being an youngster can do this and follow our legacy . i am not a politician or have any motive in promoting the flag but i feel that indians can promote india with our flag
hope you will tak emy comment in the broader sense
do keep coming back on my blog and i have saved your blog for future readings there is depth whcih i like

Ab said...

hehe.... but whyonerth did you think i told you not to ask for examples???
btw, i didnt see the inspiration behind you penning the poem..

Ab said...

ohmigod....
now say, sometimes, I think, If i really had the need to, I would even end up being a criminal. like, when i was 20, nothing was more important to me than honour and truth and blah blah...
Today I couldnt care less...
and if i think about it, it wasnt a single day conversion. Its just that I started taking things for granted. Closing my eyes and justifying myself when confronted by conscience. Suddenly, its a way of life.
like, i was never a great sinner... like, most things, i was kind of on the right side of life. Its just that all the high moral standards are all lost now.

Ab said...

happy now?????

I love this line... because I can personally relate to it:

He screamed..and yelled....
He threw swears....
He called for the help...
He cried and prayed to the God...
For he was sure HE would help back...
He called and called...

very nice

WritingsForLife said...

interesting,
I don't know if i should take the poem in the metaphorical sense or take the literal meaning but whatever the state of mind one is in, its kind of sad to know that one would feel that way. I hope i could make someone feel better.

very interesting..... i love the poem flows..

Still Searching said...

Where are you?! We want new post! :)

Ab said...

hey Aman, i think I have some proper example you asked me for.
Maybe even a year ago, I would rather die than actually hurt anyone. Like, my emotions apart, my feelings or hatred aside, I never let them crystalise into doing something that would harm them or their reputation, even the people I hated.. I let conscience dictate, and yeah, I had some humanity in me, so to say.
Today, I have been hurt by most people (even unintentionally) even those who are close to me, that I see being insensitive to their feelings as just normal. So what if they dont like what I did. after all, I have been hurt, and noone ever cared... so why should I?
inside I know, that being able to be nice is something more divine than anything else, but well, I have been taught by life that its not always fair, so I dont have to be fair always either
