dark side of the zoon

   
well my    
parents    
they were    
pious righteous    
expected the best    
   
the day i was born    
there was gold and silver    
and a couple thousand guests    
jupiter and mercury were equidistant    
from sun and there was also something else    
probably rare planetary symmetry in two sections    
   
it was the best surgeon in town who had performed    
the caesarean in one of the better hospitals in there    
there was a bit of fireworks loads of sweets and gifts    
about a few hundred had flocked in towards ward B then    
for a mere glimpse of the newborn and none of them in    
anyway were disappointed or so i heard later in my life    
   
some said jiddu's reborn as rest gasped at the luminescence     
white as star thus i was named the divine light in stoic    
accordance to the several astrologers priests seers    
only to be called different as folks did not want    
too much unwanted attention for their firstborn    
though unconsciously paving the way otherwise    
at every step everyday in my life and so it    
happened much to their surprise adding to    
the overall drama of our mundane lives    
   
now a little over two decades later    
all of them try hard to gnaw out of    
the self induced collective darkness      
having popped their pills and done    
their drills half naked miserable    
so that they can get blinded    
by the white light of reality    
once they crawl out of old    
newspapers photographs    
dogeared books whatnot    
   
but they wont do that    
cause i await them    
at the very start    
of the tunnel    
   
how hard it    
could be    
afterall    
to even    
admit      
that    
you    
are    
wr    
on    
g
