In Creative Corner, poetry

Happiness sings in the wind
I see it every day; sailing in the sky
towards the horizon and back
I see pregnant minds struggling,
fighting to get a portion of it
Happiness doesn’t stay at one place
for too long, but swiftly like a cloud of rain
skipping with a wall of darkness
hide its face from stupidity
and open it to humility
Happiness shouldn’t face one side
for too long or something is wrong
and that calls for revolution, a stirring rod
of sanity, butterflies demanding justice
and whose madness the shooting
and why the misunderstanding
the city burns, smoke rises
a voice calling in the streets
a bitter expression of love
and why the resistance
when the chewer says
your sweetness is gone–
the wind sings for the wise
only a fool thinks otherwise.
