She Is Happy To Be A Rube Rather Than Rude #Poetry

Posted on the 16 February 2018 by Jaideep Khanduja @PebbleInWaters

She is happy to be a rube rather than rude

like the people living in urban

People living in her native place are still

living together, meeting each other on a regular basis

and coming forward in the hour of need

without assessing and weighing loss and gain

in their action.

People in her native place live life well

by not prospering well, competing with each other,

and cutting each other’s throat for a benefit.

Actually, they live life and not pass life

Like the people here in the city

Mocking to be happy but missing it in every bit

of their life.

Here, people take every step with their brain

Keeping aside their heart in a cold box

full of emotionless ice cubes.

Ice cubes ensuring the temperature remains

below normal and not an iota of warmth

is able to touch it.

It remains like a wax model of heart pumping

blood in the body to keep it alive.

Just alive, without any warmth.

She is happy to be a rube.

She might not be able to fit in the city but

In fact, she still is able to connect

her mind, body, soul, and heart well

intact with warmth and love.

Here, nobody cares for others.

Everybody is busy in a race

like a rat, running, all together.

But running where? and for what?

Nobody is aware.

Running together but no bond

of togetherness among them.

Rather, they see her as a misfit here.

In fact, she also feels the same.

But what to do?

She is Happy Living Her Life

She never wants to be one like them

And they never find her to be part of them.

Of course, ultimately time will tell

Who is right and who is wrong.

Whether keeping some parts of your body

in a cold storage before dying

is good or bad?

She is happy.

Rube
