Comparison
In the days gone I say
Harmansukh bellowed and bled
For the love of his life with two
Cham chams and a simla sled
The mall was forever pretty
The mall was forever shorn
The mall was forever red
And the mall was forever torn
Between brothers whose blood
Was green and still blushed
In colors unknown and hushed
A metallic conversation thus
A smoking revolver and a shining gun
Which is the better is the thought
When you have the riches and when I have naught
Its all fair and so its all fun
Harmansukh harmansukh cried fraught
In times strain and in times distraught
What was to be the plight of “he”
Spoke thus the powers that be
Crossed betwixt brothers cross
Frayed till that which tied them
Came to naught
And yet dominated thoughts
Of gasoline, of food and of water
Of profit and of loss
Harmansukh my brother
A humble pardon for this
Tyranny I offer and the sky
Is shamed..ahh fraternity
All sins are forgiven and all wounds
Forgotten. The night gives way..
The blood still spews and hunger
gawks and spits out ulcers

Much thanks Bucksta !
was very irritated when i wrote this :) guess you guessed that! :)
Hey Doh; I really cud not understand this one. Whatz the context behind this?
And you can turn on the "Word Verification" option on your blog to reduce the spamming. (A trick just learnt from ssm)
Hi SilMel
The context is taken from the class divide that exists today amongst the people living in india.
Thanks for the tip abt the troll :)
