Corporate Zombie

Corporate Zombie by Anamitra Sarma

dull and unenthusiastic faces
flickering away their wattage
of young life to sparse traces
glued to their desks in settled sacrilege

the skimming fish eyeballs
meandering across glowing monitors
their eyes, sleepless apathetic droops
their intentions, a night owl's wandering whims

like pale nodding lilies
kidnapped by the turbulent stream
they bend back and forth and stress
then let go of their childhood dream

Anamitra Sarma

I am Anamitra Sarma, born and brought up in the city of Kolkata, India. I have recently completed my engineering degree and presently working as a Data Analyst in the city of Chennai, India. 

Apart from writing poems and penning down my thoughts and feelings almost on a daily basis, my other hobbies include capturing the Nature with my camera and watching movies of a varied set of genres.

I have been a passionate writer from a young age, and I wish to showcase my art by getting my own book of poems published one day.
