Obliterated

 

Far removed

From the eviscerated

Maw of pugnacious humanity

I buzz…

A mute spectator

Hovering over the rim of the world.

Like an open book, the world lays open,

Its spine fractured under

The onus of its bludgeoned self.

Will it recover, ever?

Will it be able to snap its covers shut?

Add a new chapter, a new story?

Or, like the inky abyss

Into which mankind has sunk,

It too will dissipate,

Obliterated into oblivion

Taking me,

An innocent witness,

With it.

About Sonal Singh

I believe that life is a repertoire of anecdotes. The various situations that we encounter, the many incidents of every day, the people we meet, our conversations with them; all make life a melange of tales. And, that is what I attempt to capture through my writing. My cooking is no different! It reflects my love for travel and my love for innovation. The kitchen is my happy place. So, even though by vocation I am a recruiter (www.rianplacements.com), by passion I am a writer, home chef and a hodophile.
