Life and Times of a Samosa......

Photographs of the ordinary and mundane are often replete with meaning. And so when my blogger and FB friend Magiceye posts photographs of everyday stuff, I search for a hidden meaning :-)

Mundane or not, this very mouthwatering visual, sort of weakens a firm mind.
But there is a solution .....

Eating imbibes calories. Poetry hopefully doesn't. .....

So.  Bon apetit !

Its been
A hard life,
from a soft existence,
to facing
drippings of hot oil,
then
surprisingly cold water
and then
a life altering
palm and finger massage.

Mr and Mrs Samosa,
now totally wrapped
in
the activities
of their potato kids.

The missus,
holding the kids close,
wrapping her palloo
securely
around her shoulders;
The man,
used to all this
clutching
the other potato kids
close,
stands alongside.

Chaos reigns
as they slip into hot oil
and they clutch the kids closer,
to keep them from
feeling the Heat of Life.

A temporary reprieve,
and they rest
on a cool white surface,
alongside
some green sympathy.

Bravely facing
a human
with shining eyes
and a watering mouth.

Ma and Pa Samosa .

A family,
that gets together,
grows together,
suffers together,
and ends their life together,
in a harakiri
of human greed.....
