Darkness......

White as doves people initially appear,
but time and interaction swiftly makes the veil disappear.
Vengeance and frustration creep out of the blue,
but for happiness there has to a clue.
"Love" has become synonymous with flesh and lust,
hearts are just structures of filth and dust.
Divorce and infidelity has became such a part and parcel of human life,
that this legalized prostitution is also called as "Husband and Wife".
The long legs of money have kicked innocence into the bins,
and "god" has been made a mere coolie to wipe away the sins.
"Freedom" and "will" are just words that appear to stand tall,
but the chains of "society" and "order" have slowly bound all.
Invisible crowns have taken control of our heads,
for them we are ready to take even snakes and scorpions to our beds.
Sun takes away the darkness of the night,
but what about the darkness that holds our souls tight??
