Poem: Truth is sorry for being born, and slightly judgemental for having the spine. A silent sufferer too in the crowd while honesty weeps beside till dawn. The era of sky-high morals has left the building.
Truth is sorry for being born,
And slightly judgmental for having the spine.
A silent sufferer too in crowd,
While honesty weeps beside till dawn.
The era of sky-high morals,
Has left the building.
Silly smiles are in town.
Prejudice too just followed suit.
If you are a ruthless selfish, you’re welcome.
If you are a spineless serpent,
You are a sweetheart.
You will feel alone in your mighty heart,
Until you regret for having one.
You will walk the desert alone and thirsty,
Choking for an ounce of fresh perspective,
And gasping for opinions, not so biased,
Unless you carry a bunch of unpopular tales.
You will be pecked for good habits.
And sush-ed for right choices.
Good is the mobster,
Right is just so wrong.
Carelessness is cool,
And I can’t stress this enough.
Being heedful just signs you off.
Simple is labelled an outlaw,
And sensible is a complicated fool.
Caring is stale, an outdated stinker,
Making sense is a total looser.
Being right is an absolute redundancy.
Buried are the core values,
Six feet below the earth.
Cremated are the manners,
Common sense is next in line.
Truth is aghast at plastic confidence,
And wide-eyed at superfluous prides.
Its quiet mate called humble is missing since many summers,
While the heart of acceptance,
Stays aloof, in shivering winters.
Innocence suffers in the hands,
Of a skilled steerer.
A d vegan, an honest target at butchers,
wonders its blunder.
Simplicity is a borderline disorder.
Your heart will be pinned to wall,
And picked with darts,
If you possess the demons,
of morals unsuitable in filthy metros.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
