Palmist!

a poem by Kalashree Selvarajah

I went to Pune from UK
To see my friend Shri
Took me to Gandhi Memorial
Doesn’t follow his values
Visited Rajneesh Ashram
Doesn’t believe in spirituality
Went to restaurant with his buddy
Had a good time with a bottle of brandy
Buddy is a Palmist!
Predicted death in my family
Tried to disturb my sanity
Took my money in plenty
I reacted weirdly
Shocked my friend deeply
Deserted me badly
Lost my friendship
Because of the inconsiderate Palmist!
