The Same Story

The same story day by day Bringing milk from shop And feeding the pigeons at rooftops Twitching ears of lazy children And taking the dog for a stroll Mirror tells a few teeth left Would be difficult to chew corn Slurp down foam of tooth paste Dry lips hurt as they get washed Kisses are forgotten since years The same story day by day Biscuits and tea with news papers With news of rapes and wars Of minor girls stolen away to Make pregnant and to be lynched The same story day by day Hours of life are reflected in The same manner when you hold A book in front of the mirror Story going backward repeating itself The same story day by day TV needs a repairing Washing machine is whining Disturbing concentration of The bookworm child in a corner Motor cycle does not start Reached office an hour late The same story day by day
