Sushant Thapa
River and Sorrows
Have you ever thought
If the river stops flowing
How you will wash your sorrows?
Till now, Inebriation has been costly for you
See; the river flows for free.
Villages and Cities
Dreams they sell in the cities
Always showcases more prosperity
But nature showcases its prosperity in the villages.
I cannot understand
Is nature real or
Are the dreams that sale real?
Death
When you see a dead body
Being carried by four men
On their shoulders
Accompanied by followers
Have you ever questioned yourself
If you are free from the people
Who follow you when you are alive?
