A WhatsApp Group

An island of memory forms in the
vast oblivion.
Emotions froth with warmth. Minds
are connected
through the broadband of nostalgia.
An everlasting
get-together of old classmates. They
wage war against
vices. They sob over sorrows that are
not theirs. Pics
of triumph get applause, while envy’s
horn protrudes
from a pit. Origin of congratulations
and consolations
is from the same key. Some purloin
from philosophy.
One buddy’s a marauder of wits. This
WhatsApp group is
a life jacket to escape from drowning
in ennui
