THE LONELY COUPLET...

Darshayita Paul 2003 (Karnataka)

Rhymed
Is it easy to find a 'good friend' nowadays?
The pseudo-living teddies are the loyal ones always...

You shout, you lie...
They will listen, but can't deny...

"Why did you scream?", they will never ask...
They just hear; enquiring is not their task...

The good old days remain sadly quiet...
Our present life has fixed nothing right...

Believing was not a great deal at that time;
when words used to find their perfect pairs to rhyme...

About this poem

This poem is a couplet... It portrays a small fact of this present world, where finding a friend is a big deal...
