वनातील सौंदर्य स्पर्धेत
कडक इस्त्रीचे , बांधा खुलवणारे
डिझाइनर गुलाबी वस्त्र
परिधान करतात काही ;
स्तब्ध पोझ देउन
टाळ्या , शिट्ट्या
आणि बक्षीस घेउन जातात ….
आणि रंगमंचावरील हिरवा पटल
मान हलवतो
आणि
चुरगळलेल्या जमिनीवरच्या
गुलाबी आशांना
सुस्कारा सोडून सांगतो ,
“बयो, स्पर्धा हि अशीच…
कुणा एकाच्या जिंकण्यात
बाकी सर्वांच्या मनाचा
चुराडा …..”
Beauty pageants
in the woods,
with a display
of
pink designer
beautifully cut
outfits;
they
smile and pose,
and glide away
amidst
whistles, applause
and awards.....
Somewhere,
the mature
green backdrop
on the stage,
sadly
shakes its head,
looks down
at so many
lying
crushed and dry
on the ground,
sighs,
and
says,
"Lady,
that's competition, for you....
the winner
rests
on the cushion
of crushed aspirations
of thousands....."

Of course, I love it! Always fun or beautiful or though provoking, but always wonderful! Have a lovely evening!
