One more day gone, fast and quick <br />Living cost up a kite, not tick by tick. <br />Pocket so thin and list too thick, <br />Vultures all round, to hook and pocket prick. <br /> <br />A commner has only a day normal <br />Cannot dream of any abnormal <br />Easy prey to all practises mal <br />Just gasps at the gush in the nearby mall. <br /> <br />Pending bills at him stare; <br />All things his due are but stale. <br />Cope up how is his quest of mind <br />Soap operas, only solace, his, to put things behind. <br /> <br />Narayanan Ramakrishnan.<br /><br />Narayanan Ramakrishnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-commoner/
