That Damned Photograph

Thinking! Thinking!

As I ponder into an unknown realm, I am not sure which realm.

I close my eyes, I see nothing. 

The nothingness makes me empty. 

I don't know what I am here for, the stress from the confusion is excruciating. 

The rapid sense of trance that is generated makes me wonder - if anyone feels how I do.

I close my eyes I see that incident right in front of me. 

These are kids for God’s sake, and eating from a pile of dumped garbage ...

I am not sure what menial value these kids have on this face of the earth.

They are our future and they lead, nothing better than the life of a cur. 

Yet we close our eyes. 

Well, I don't know about others but I do it, and I damn well admit that I do, and go my way. 

I feel so helpless and now, it is regret, for having just snapped that photo and going ahead? I don't blame others, how can others change if I don't. 

If only, that day, instead of just snapping, I would have done something.

If only, I could go back. 

I don't know how people smile, Hell! I don't know how I smile. 

Am I faking it, I am not sure.

I wish I had enough power to set things right.

To do something which would change the life of these kids. 

I know all this talk is in vain and it shall never be able to redress

What is done is done!
