The globe of things
that you are carrying, pretty,
is full of magma
that they won't see.
You have covered it
with the crust, a thick one,
and then
you have been called the
one with a beautiful grin.
Your goodness is preposterous
yet they'll say you’re momentous.
They try to intervene
in your sufferance
Belittling your anguish
& advertising their tolerance.
Alas! they all believe that
only they are shattered,
dispirited and have gone through
the extremity of misery.
only they have gotten
the tormentor, twitching their brain cells.
If that's how they console themselves
at the time of catastrophe,
let them keep such ingredients
of respite in disgrace.
It's okay if it gives them solace.
