Greenery is in the eyes of the beholder

“The grass is greener on the other side”

Half the globe won’t let the Sun go
The other staring at the blue waiting for the clouds
Man spending thousands to get a glimpse of snow
Man clearing the white roads to walk into crowds

Corporates making billions by selling fairness to some
While some others getting tanned by the beach
As the high of inferiority takes its toll like old rum
Joy of content rests in pieces like the King’s Speech

A child unable to wait to grow up is confused
To see his elders longing to be children again
When was this urge in the mind first infused
That what you have always calls for disdain

Thank you Kritika and Steph, both of you brilliant poetesses for nominating me for Quotes Challenge. This was the Day 2 when this lovely bird was seen looking at the grass on the other side of the park as if finding it alluring. He had a jolly companion too but before I could take out the camera, he had already taken a flight to that side.
