Society

what our society is?

              Society

"Society"...lemme explain it to you

It pulls us down when we want to touch the sky,

It cuts our wings when we are ready to fly.

We have to walk according to them,

We have to talk according to them,

We have to choose what they want,

We have to do as they wish.

If you ever tried to ignore them,they'll do nothing

Just make you an "Out-Of-Water Fish" .

If you are morally high,they'll consider you feeble,

But if immorality is your partner then you are worth and capable.

They'll always try to surround you with imbroglios,

Suppress your abilities and neglect your portfolios.

If you try to be honest,they won't let you survive.

They'll do whatever they can to kill you live.

If you dare to love a person not from your religion,

They'll say nothing just make you a trapped pigeon.

You have to love a person of the caste you belong to.

And if you do not,they'll make you croak even if you are a cuckoo.

You'll be reputed only if you are corrupt and have overflowing lucre

Otherwise iniquity will be forever in your path and the "lower ones" may sometimes treat you like a hooker.

If you go out of your house after 12am then you are lothario or s**t

but at doing the same you are cool and dashing if pelf is what has come to you as a flood.

For us they are lucifer but they are only the Almighty,

They only understand us the best and do we want.

They are only the hoity-toity.

It's OK that a girt wears what her father likes

But her father cares more for others wives.

In the name of "Dharma" they are ready with a knife,

Then they don't spare anyone,be it their neighbour or best friend's wife.

Poverty in this society is like fish in a river,

Where if the rich ones will talk to poor, next day they'll be on bed with 104 C fever.

Happiness in this type of place is like strawberries in mango shake.

No one is genuine or true,everybody's fake.

Once a couple was riding on a horse and people around started saying-

"Oh! these stone-hearted people

Two people are riding on a horse that is so feeble."

Then the wife came down and only the husband was on horse's back...and then they said-

"Oh! this cold-hearted lad,

His wife is walking and he's on the horse.He's such a cad" 

Then they thought of the alternative and now the man started walking,which they thought they would feel pertinent..But again they started-

"Oh! this silly husband! He's his wife's servant."

They both became mortified and now no one was on horse's back...Then they were like-

"Huh! these loonies!

Intelligence is the only quality which they lack."

So being uninhibited is the only quality that will let you survive in this society,

You just be who you are and leave the rest to the Almighty.

"Surviving in this society is not a child's play..

Who thinks he'll construct a building,playing with clay"

You write with a honest pen. I love reading poetry from other places. We learn the way of other countries and thoughts. You taught me a lot. I felt the disappointment and struggle in your words. The above lines I like a lot. It is the same everywhere. Government trying to control all things. We need free-will of mind and heart to know freedom. Sometime we must fake our smile and keep our dreams alive without having concern to get approval from naysayers. Thank you for the outstanding poetry. You make me think this morning.

Not only is this written in a "disciplined" poetic form that emphasises the controlled way of thinking, which is the basis of your message, but you have stated it with an impressive clarity of language .
Politics and religion have their uses, but unfortunately,do not encourage a balanced viewpoint, as it dilutes the power struggle which is inherent in their mission.
Your use of quiet humour made this indictment even more powerful.

My Dear Writing Friend,
A very thought provoking word tapestry. I think it was easer for myself to grasp as I have studied some of the cultural views held in India like the caste system. And though not form your nation I found some common ground as we First Nations peoples in North America face a uphill battle.
This was the first poem I have found the word imbroglio and lucre in, well done. I actually had to look up the word imbroglio for its definition to understand this section of your poem. Below is the definition for those whom may not know its meaning.
Keep writing, I like what you have to share, and most of all stay true to yourself.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear
