Under the scorching sun
The walk made him sweat
Unwilling feet moved with laboured deft
Hardly managing the dangling heft
The only way to save whatever money left
So gapping was his societal rift
He felt embarrassed even to ask for a lift
With forced obedience ; Trained brilliance
Tuned performance; under heedless guidence
He had many a thing to fake a balance
Thoroughbred at notorious asylems to succeed
From the invisible shackles he was never freed
Tailor made lack of confidence
A poster child of societal influence
An imitation of someone his parents copied with reverence
thrown into the hostile world searching his relevance
Induced with qualifications thoughtlessly agreed
Unsuspectingly indoctrinated into faulty breed
Impatiently counting on luck to lead
He saw hoards like him fighting the same need
Their skills judged redundant and routine
They were all fit for a job just taken away by a machine
Anger anxiety disappointment and guilt
Realising how futile the effort over a decade they built
Retreated the victimized restless desperate mob
with pieces of papers in hand and a suppressed sob
Beautifully depicted! Keep writing
