A Poem !

Ah ! my dear friends: I know !
as I worth a few pennies, precisely:
that is why sunk in the debris of your indifference and apathy.
But tell me:
Where do you stand between the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’!
the 'truth' and the' lie'!
the 'real' and the 'unreal'!
the 'dark' and the 'light'!
‘the courage’ and ‘fear’, as
you too ran away, like
a defeated soldier, all in panic
forgetting
to collect his rusty gun and cheap pride.
So tell me now, precisely:
where do we stand , as
feeling of shame and guilt,and
fear is chasing you, like
a mad dog?
