Too Late

Folder: 
You, We Me

Somehow, I know; don’t ask me how

but I know

the pain to come; the sorrow; the loss.

My voice is mild

I let you know

But you have no time; to hear the clock chime.

My sayings; Monotonous

I raise my voice

But you are just as before; without a care or choice.

Disappointed, I shout

Irritated are the crowd

Preoccupied; you ignore; to convince I talk more.

Earnestly I try

like a sharp edged knife

to cut through and through; and reach the closed mind.

Sharp, rude, loud, crude, and mild --

Alas! Only if you had heard, what I did say

this gigantic disaster indeed; would not have taken place.

Wether the adressee in this poem is the World
or those close and cherished in our lives;
the truth is we have the same Nemisis acting
against us, I call it the "Cassandra Principle"
- Those of us who see the future and those
who do not and will not listen to warning.
Dear Jayati, Keep Writing - Keep the faith.
