Ode to the Lonely

To the lonely souls
Forsaken in miseries
In desolate sorrow…

Deprived from company
attention, interest
love,care…

To the lonely ones
Kings of the past
Tortured in present…

The seekers of conversation
Bleak ones losing
deprived of all..

To the lonely ones
Rejected
Depressed….

To the lonely ones
Whom we must
Help…

To the lonely ones
The sick and old..

To the lonely
Ones …..

Hope these lines
create consciousness
in thee.
