Angst

a poem by Jayati

Not afraid
of ghosts and spirits
Not afraid of
Thugs;
Not afraid of wild animals
Not afraid of
bugs.
Not afraid of thieves or cheats
Nor afraid of bacteria, virus;
The sage spoke of his fears
which was;
Man in mantle hatred
dressed in variety guns;
ready to kill annihilate one
another
just for mere peanuts.
A real cause for concern!
