A Confectionery

How vague, do those fears of the past now seem, How absurd, are the people, once held high in esteem. How bizarre, are the pleasures I once craved for, How weak, I was, right from the core. How clouded, were my thoughts, By the greed of ambition. And, How tangled, was my pitiful tale. But people and experiences, can do wonders. They brought along a storm, and the thunders.

It’s obvious that we all focus on our interests better, but presently; our interests should lie with our nation. Dirty politics, corruption, and poverty; is this why the people under the colonial rule had struggled so much? Is this why they had to sacrifice their lives? To see the country’s reins in such unstable and unworthy hands? I’m pretty sure that they’d be regretting it now. It seems as though a 10-headed monster is slowly tea...
