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

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
