The Law of Gravity

An evocative social commentary, in this verse, by Rituparna, exclusively for Different Truths.

Time is flying away from time immemorial.

Mind is digressing from the mind of eternal days.

Known soul is transforming to an unknown one.


Space is failing to provide space to new.

Universal appeal of the universe is in an escapade.

Indifferent humans are still preoccupied in their
audacious matrix of pseudo postmodernism.

Core has lost its centrality.
Humanity defies the law of gravity.
