As We Saw

We saw a broken egg-shell,

lying vacant on a gray , hot , paved road.

Some screamed out - ' Wastage!' ;

Some murmured - 'Purpose served !' .

Some said , " Let's dig a bit deeper , 

Let's think a bit more  !"

Some shunned,

saying ," Eh! Nasty gore! " .

I said ," Its all about 'Time' "  !!

We all see things differently in life....is it garbage? Is it something useful, something beautiful? It's all about perception, isn't it? As far as the last line of your poem goes, indeed, EVERYTHING leads back to time. Much to ponder here, Anand! Lydi**

[Anand Sehgal]

yes Lydi, time wins in the end :)

[Stefanie Holmes]

Brilliantly penned, dear Anand ! True, how perceptions can either deplete or extend us mortals - you have aptly conveyed the the differences of views. Keep it up ! Cheers

I really like the last line; it seems to welcome the possible interpretations that are hinted at prior to reaching it. A concise piece of social commentary, well done :)

[Anand Sehgal]

Interesting poem which makes you think. I wonder what I would have said? The poem is very nicely put together, I thought.

[Anand Sehgal]

I tried to make it open-ended :) thank you
