The throne

She always runs high on her knees To get the invisible award of punctuality She thinks she values time Everyone flatters   her disciplines.
By Subhekshya Shrestha

She always runs high on her knees

To get the invisible award of punctuality

She thinks she values time

Everyone flatters   her disciplines.

She serves the food to everyone before she eats

Even the crumbles left to her plate

She smiles heartedly.

To tell she is content for what she gets

And everyone flatters    her courtesy.

She never grumps

When someone pulls her leg

She thinks they satiated their curiosity.

And everyone flatters of her big heart.

She loves them all 

With the slightest hope of getting loved to

People do stay in her life

And everyone flatters   her innocence.

She does another thing no one knows,

In a locked up room

Behind the curtains

Where only winds hit her window glass pane,

She relinquish herself in a swamp of tears

‘I have been a relic to this liar world,

Where I make every efforts just to please all,

Yes, I survived and I am the heir as I usurped the throne of kindness,

But no one asks me if I am okay pretending to be good.

Because its difficult to let selfishness pass,

And benevolence shouts aloof.

It’s difficult to keep pace with time, 

Because I always let slip from me, the nano seconds.

I am courteous; I smile at everyone because,

Hoping, loving people would make a better place to live.

But when you awake from the dissonance   among the Homo sapiens,

You know you have been fooled again and again.

An effort to please everyone,

I feel I am dire

the throne  Is  crowned to me,

But I have lived to entertain the world.

The reason I think, this throne is just a joke.’
