The Signpost

The Signpost

A Poem by Kaustubh Pandey
"

The poem describes a signpost hung outside a building,which is being neglected by the passer-bys. But the passer-bys don't know how dangerous ignoring it can be...

"
There hangs the creaky old signpost
It's there for almost twenty years or so
But it seems to look like a transparent ghost
People just pass by it,come and later go...

With sticks in their hands,
Held close to their mouth
clutching their hair strands
and talking to someone from the south

There hangs the creaky old signpost
Its there for almost twenty years or so
But it seems to look like an invisible ghost
People pay no heed to it come and later go...

But deep inside,they're annihilating themselves
Just like a brook makes the sea bigger
They're causing peril to their own self
And pursuing the grave-digger

There hangs the selfless old signpost
Its there for almost twenty years or so
But it looks like an unheard ghost
People hardly bother to see it,come and later go...

Later,the devil will rise to its throne
Their will power won't suffice
They'll struggle,until it'll be grown
Soon,they'll be awaiting their own demise

There hangs long lost old signpost
Its there for almost twenty years or so
But it seems to look like a not-so-scary ghost
People just enter,come and later go...

Inside the building where its hung,
Lies the epitome,he's been there for twenty years
Paying for the smoking stick he'd flung
But he-the owner warns his dears

He doesn't want others to face the same fate
And pass through the hell's gate

There hangs the dead old signpost
It will be there for twenty years or so
It will still look like a faded ghost
People will ignore it,come and forever go...
