Guest Writer Spot

This week it’s my pleasure welcome new writer, Fathima Thasni to my Guest Writer Spot. Before you read her heart felt poem, here’s a little bit about her in her own words:

“I am from Kerala,the southern edge of India. I have started writing in both English as well as Malayalam, which is our regional language, in recent times. I was greatly inspired by my mother, Mrs.Shalbi. The complications of the current society influence me in writing. I am a keen being who will always love to serve people and live for a global cause. I would also love to turn my poetry into innovative words that would let people realize the zillion dilemmas they are accustomed to”.

 THE CATASTROPHE BY FATHIMA THASNI
–

Fabricated are the beings,

Every flash and hour is fake.

Brilliant actors executing the portrayal,

Labeled as the mere life.

Wandering around in the soot,

Stuffed with adulterated emotions,

Is a sheer soul…oh me!!

Pole to pole I tried hunting truth,

Ardent men, authentic feats.

But, soon I grasped that my quest was in vain,

While the universe itself lived in a lie.

Ignorant was this girl, forced to mock

With undertones and notions suffocating in her.

When does this pain end??

When will the melodrama meet the climax??

As I have hopes of survival of the one

Who has felt emotions by heart.

May the calamity of deceit end,

Let us cherish in integrity.
