Cushions

Each one has got a set of grouse

Against people, events and rules.

Natural justice is elusive.

Curses are the alternatives.

Each one would compare and compete

To end up being dejected.

His solace is assessing lapses

From those better placed than him .

Each one consoles himself feeling

That he is still good in some respects

And waits for others’ downfall

Cursing for the self denial.

Each one resigns himself to the fact

That life is not fair to all and

That existence works in a mystery.

Fate and luck are the assigned roles.

Each one is helpless about future,

Taking credit for the success

And blaming others for failures.

Regrets and curses are cushions.
