The SignpostA Poem by Kaustubh PandeyThe 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...
