Infamy

By Ayesha Aly Sultana

For infamy,

you don't necessarily

have to act wicked,

even a false allegation

works just fine.

And it's not easy to participate

in an event,

where your infamy has reached

before you.

There the way people look at you,

explain everything.

The moment you'll take a leave,

Youll be discussed in digusting ways.

It saddens me everytime,

how people see one side of the coin

and accept it as truth,

that too with full confidence.

They don't feel the urge

to flip the coin and see the other side.

But they do feel the urge

to forward the onesided story to others.

And the others to some others

until your infamy becomes

the talk of the town!

And some of them will come to tell you,

the rumors they've heard about you.

They call themselves wellwishers.

I call them story tellers.

They tell stories adding spices as per taste.

In the name of sympathy,

all they do is everything but sympathising.

Now you're sad, may be depressed

but surely famous.

Although for all the wrong reasons,

but atleast you're in limelight.

What a fame!

You wanna thank your enemies, their friends

and the fastest logistic system they have,

to carry lie with the speed of light

which brought you fame, overnight.

Now you have two options,

Either start giving explanation to people

who hardly care to know the truth.

Or just pray,wait and watch the table turn.

For they plotted a plot but

Almighty planned a plan!
