Empty houses
Empty schools
Empty parks
Empty temples
Empty graveyards
Empty roads
Empty streets
I see the world empty.
Is it really empty
or am I deluded.
Even if I am,
but what about
our hearts?
I feel a void there
created by us
when we lied and didn't repent,
when we stole and didn't repent,
when we raped and didn't repent,
when we killed and didn't repent,
when we turned our motherland into abattoirs
for all the" good reasons"
of course we didn't repent then
after all it was done for a "good reason"
Place a mirror.
which one is the object
which one is the reflection?
what is reality
what is illusion?
Empty world or empty heart?
Is emptiness engulfing us
or are we engulfing the emptiness?
I feel empty
I feel full,
empty of goodness
full of evil.

@Usha Pisharody Just read your comment and realised, you see it as poetry, I am only able to appreciate the thoughts :)
Thank you for writing this..
The thoughts and the way they combine to from this powerful something..I dont know what to call it..your words just simply are...
so let me just say thank you again..
Bro and Sis, both have some amazing thoughts!:)
Sorry that should read as ''the way they combine to form this powerful something :)
@IHM, sometimes lines blur, and prose presents poetry, while poetry proclaims prosaic notions :)
I found wonderful pertinent thoughts too, conveyed in an expression I find poetic :) :)
I love the way perspectives shine so many torch lights around the same work :)
Well said! Impressive.
Pretty Impressive Indeed... Wonderfully expressed and so poignant...
Beautiful and oh so true!
Lovely poem, Stuti!
Great.
Emptiness is full I seeking full world or something like that.
Just a thought.
Enjoyed this, though.
Regards,
your brother sent us straight here --
dark truths deliverd with a punch.
These words have a kick boxing effect ...
Bravo sis!
You brother and sister duo know how to convey thoughts through poems and articles brilliantly!
Thank you.
Stuti Dear...this one will stay with me for very very long.Emptiness of goodness and predominance of evil.. thats what has spread everywhere...and the ever relevant questions on what is correct was so easily said by placing the mirror!!!wow!!
To question our acts by our own self is the greatest test of goodness.. and when we find no answer to that question do we become *Empty*.
