The Poem I Wrote For Cresendo

Title : When I entered my room all I saw was red

The incident i describe took place some years back

When the government administration had begun to slack

Happiness, love and brotherhood were lost somewhere

Just the news of riots and murders were everywhere

To discuss the remedies of these

People were invited to a five star hotel cheeze

We discussed many petty issues during the meet

While we were being served snacks, coke and meat

There the clocks ticked faster than we had ever dreamt

Still we couldn't come to a decision that really meant

Yearning for freedom from that surrounding gloom

I left the discussion and walked to a room

All i saw there was red

Be it the floor or the bedThe walls were painted bloody red

All this gave me an awkward feeling that someone had bled

To ease my mind I walked across the room

And as I did so I felt getting sucked in some gloom

As such thoughts continued to creep

I didn't realise when I was hunted down by sleep

In that sleep i had a dream

Which came with a faint gleam

In it a dwarf came

Horlicks was his name

He made me realise

The pain of the sufferers and empathise

But Oh! suddenly the dwarf disappeared

As he went i got scared

For he was followed by a man in cloak

So scary was he that my dream broke

Waking up from my dream

I felt like crying out in a scream

That the red around me signified my bleeding conscience

Which I had left somewhere in my journey to find out the mysteries of science

This incident left me unbiased

On my longing to help the sufferers of riots

That's all I want to say

To all my friends who love to live and play

I ask you to be selfless, loving and kind

And work for the betterment of mankind

Stand up to remove the evils that lead to riots and discrimination

For in that way you will be contributing for the development of your nation
