*********
An asphalted cross, a statue at centre
Ashen devoid of any feeling or emotion
On the wide streets the four cross arms
Motor cars and fast buses,slow milkvans
The newspaperman on his red bicycle
Delivering news good and bad door to door
Sometimes lies forlorn on a tiled floor
Buses crammed sweaty sleepdeprived men
Running towards destinations far from heaven
Asphalted crossroads are trod without mercy
The statue becomes dusty as the day oldens
Passionless smirking face fashionless features
Nicely trimmed green shrubbery and flowers
Remorse engulfs the poison exhaust smothers
Men and women just pass by mindless brothers
Rummaging Though The Trash
.
I found crossroads, an intersection of poetic observation and detail finely gleaned, vs passersby who are impervious to the commmorated sculpted form towering over the asphalt. Who is the statue? The poet, an idea, a hero, a goddess? Inquiring minds want to know - I'm Jus' Sayin' ~Lady A~

Please Ma'am Allets allow me to explain the thoughts in my mind
A FB friend of mine from Odissa(India) Mr. Padhi or Mr Muddchina I think pasted a picture of a crossroad on a status update.Somehow it brought the feelings of the streets being trod upon 365 days.Many towns/cities of India have staues of Great WoMen,Men of past.Did I see a goddess/god somewhere ? yes.. at Haridwar. So whatever you think Ma'am. It needed some editing.Later on maybe. Actually it was off the cuff like 100% of my trashy writes.Just some random thoughts put to tiny words to make some sense or nonsense.. whatever. Anyway I must thank you for your kind interest in the ashen post ~Just spilling words~
