Temptations

I  would have liked to preface this with something  on its evolution. But I am too pressed for time now to do so. I hope  I would be able to do it when I update this.

Temptations

Some fall for lucre

And some for cheap thrills

Some goes for the inane

And some for a promise of love

What should one do

When one sees this farce

Where the asinine act as wise

And the nice are considered base?

Yet it’s moving to note

That some do not have the eyes

To see what they really are

And blames others for their faults

They at least are

Temporarily saved

From the poor disgrace of

Knowing themselves then

Is it better to allow them

To bask in that illusive glory

Till such time comes

To remove those veils?

May be they are right

In some peculiar way

Where self gratification

Assumes all round importance

I am sometimes non-plussed

Seeing this musical chair

Where no one can win

But the people who organize

Yet it is amusing too

To listen to the growls

And dismayed yowls

And wanton cries

As the drama unfolds

More characters may come

Flaunting their roles

Lighting their poor flares

Okay let us watch the play

Till we get bored

There seems to be no charge

To this amusing fare
