Face in the Crowd


The moment you step out of your home, you are nothing, but a tiny part of CROWD or more apt word PUBLIC. Unrelated bunch of people moving together in train, in bus, on road.... in shops and so on. Millions of lives crossing each other, without leaving a trace. Thousands of faces we see everyday..... nobody bothers to remember or think about people we don't know. 
But, sometimes there are few faces in crowd you can never forget. 



I saw that face, 
as I was walking 
on the road. Something, 
was gravely wrong. I doubt. 
A man was crying his heart out. 
What was wrong ? 
I had no clue. 
But, no one to console him, 
that was weird too. 




At that moment. 
that Face made me think. 
How he ended up,
at this state of brink.
In such a crowded place, 
He was standing alone. 
Like an used blade.
Lying in a man's salon.


 
His face, projecting. 
Stacks of mistakes. 
Like a painting of, 
Struggles and attacks.
Who knows ??
How many more are yet to happen. 
To shake that man, 
Who is already, so badly shaken.

Then, I moved forward 
got engrossed in what I was
doing before. 
Same old, Same old
Daily dose of chores. 
A routine fight to 
maintain, highly coveted
reputation n decor.

Now, When I roam around. 
I am startled to found. 
So many, similar faces. 
With different stories and
different grounds. 
What's common was
just the pain, pain profound.

  18. "Pain profound..' writ large every where..."Sarvam Dukhmayam Jagat"(This world is full of grief ,pain and sorrow..." said Buddha, observed himself the agony and drudgery of human life and went for a renunciation!Please beware!

  19. This is thought provoking. And making me feel a LITTLE insignificant. A feeling takes over me when I leave the house. I don't like that feeling too much. :-(

  30. great poem .. but you are right faces do tell of all that might have happened and in todays day and age its usually the SAD faces that we see .. beacause I think today there is more sorrow in the world than happy.. people have become such

    and the picture well it tells a story I am glad you saw the pain usually people ignore what they see ..

  31. Some faces we met shake our world. So much pain and all around indifference.
    Powerful & painful.

    ReplyDelete
  32. unnecessary pain. how much of this pain is making peace within and how that connects to our external world.

    seeing the pain is a prophetic ability. the good samaritan on the road, i believe, saw the man strewn alongside the road. the wealthier, official people didn't even see the man in pain and in need.

  33. He was standing alone.
    Like an used blade.

    A unique angle to see the pain in image of lonely man. Great expression, Jyoti.

  34. well... thats the sad part of the world... sad faces like these do not make an everlasting impression on us anymore... these are all around..and then life moves on.. :(

    beautiflly written...so vividly depicts the misery of the human race...

    ReplyDelete
  35. This makes me wonder what the story was behind this man's pain, for him to project his emotions in such a public setting. How very sad. I hope that he found some small scrap of peace and solace. In my heart, I want to believe that someone stepped up to offer comfort, if only a quiet word to soothe.
