Oppressed

by Rajesh kumari
(Dehradun, India)

How can the golden sun shine?
having a dose of cactus wine.
How will the silver moon spread it's glow?
While it is covered with black clouds
and thunderous storms that blow.
How can a tiny butterfly fly?
while a hungry chameleon swallows it whole
like a pie.
How can a seed of desire grow?
while I am lying here in an ugly death row.
