What will people say
They say it time and again
Makes no sense to us
Makes no sense to us
Giving in to society
Who defined these rules
Who defined these rules
That divide us based on caste
Can we escape it
Can we escape it
Without the curse following
Should we fight for love
Should we fight for love
Our happiness matters too
Are people aware
Are people aware
Of the society rule book
That blinds all of us
That blinds all of us
It did not make sense to them
Society wins again
Written for Haiku Horizons: Prompt - Sense.
Aha! Creatively written, Soumya!
ReplyDeleteSociety needs to learn & follow the rule-book.
Thank you Anita!
DeleteA wonderful take on the prompt...
ReplyDeleteTalking very relevant points...

Thank you Satya!
DeleteSO true..who can escape society? We dnt need to heed to all its whims and fancies but still we can't escape it...Wonderful write up
ReplyDeleteThanks Naba!
DeleteWhy do we have to follow society always? No matter how much we try to escape it, society will always catch up. Good one, Soumya!
ReplyDeleteThank you Aathira!
DeleteUnfortunately, that's the sad truth :-(
ReplyDeleteAs long as we are in it, we can't escape it..
ReplyDeleteThe sad truth!
DeleteThis was clever..the flow you chose!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Thanks Red!
DeleteSociety makes the rulebook...we are all expected to conform...those of us who don't pay a price...in my opinion it is worth it !
ReplyDeleteI completely agree.
Deleteyour heart's outpour is so sublime ! reminds me of Kundera's quote, “When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.”

This is the best comment ever. Thank you so much :)
Deletewelcome Soumya !
DeleteWell, the concept of societies rules don't make sense to me. But there's no way out because follow it or not, the society will have something to say. So why bother?
ReplyDeleteI agree. But we can't keep quiet either.
DeleteHey Soumya!
ReplyDeleteVery well penned. Conforming to societal norms does border on our happiness... the question I guess always lies in the realm of another question "For what cause do we fight? The status quo of societal conformity or our happiness?"
Following you now. Great blog :)
I agree with your views. But who will answer the question?
DeleteThanks for following :)
nicely crafted
ReplyDeletemuch love...
