Sipra's Diary: Poem >. "LAGNIAPPE"

 

           LAGNIAPPE:   Sipra Roy.
 
 In the new-age  of 'use and throw' society 

'Lagniappe' is a  forgotten term in prosperity,
.:  
 Unless we search meaning in the dictionary!

  
Bygone are those days of simple  life 

When small gift brought big smile!

In this age of extravagance, spilled-over-

Garbage box with  left over from the upper class 

Wait  for disposal  as "trash"to   ignoble mass;

The excess  as  'refuge'  from the privileged  class;  

Is sumptuous than  mere 'lagniappe' of back-days! 

        It is an universal  fact :

Interest is sweeter than the capital

So   'lagniappe'  was meant   for extra joy; 

But  if greed is too big to exceed the cornucopia 

Then  expectation  may  turn  into  frustration !

                                                                                   Lagniappe=   means "extra"& free [like gift]
