    Exclamation LOVE-now and then.


    Times have changed
    Love is much talked about
    like a high-end merchandise
    run short of stock in the market;
    like multitude of colorful birds
    enchanting the heart and soul
    but always in the bush or
    like the extinct dodo!
    Love has just become a word of mouth
    a combination of letters odd and even
    which have lost their real essence
    and are no more effective as they were.
    Love is an illusion, a blatant lie,
    an illusory sentiment, a deceptive emotion,
    an escape door for failed men and women
    like hope it is the crutch by which
    some people like to trod
    when they can walk no more!
    Love, like the Huma will sit on nobody's head
    as Huma isn't there anymore
    or was it ever?
    A sugar-coated poison love is
    apparently sweet but bitter
    than the underlying hate...
    Or sexual lust
    which rule the world!

    Sad but quite true! In today's world love has become a commodity and you can't wish away this ugly reality. The metaphor of 'Huma' is very apt. Thank you for this thought provoking poem.
