Power

Being powerful is a phase in a person's life where not speaking something can be more harmful than speaking something.

The Chaos Theory

Captured in the closet of

contrived chauvinists

       Where

   Cruelty chases chaste childhood's chimera,

   The Carcinogenic scoundrels cage creditable competitors,

   The Corrupt crumple and confiscate the candour

   The Civilization's crutches are scarcely concealed,

    Confusion and conflict clang the Church's chimes.

       Its high time to

   Pull back the curtain of change covered over the casement of chaos to corroborate the

       Conquest of

 Cognitive cognizance over confusion,

 Confidence over cynical climate,

 Courage over the cowardice.

Two consonant facades of the same coin,

Chaos creates a conspicuous change....

Paradise Lost

She asked her not to wear those skimpy shorts

Or give that glance ,coquettish of sorts.

She warned her against trusting a stranger

Ohh! She got collywobbles raising a teenager.

A strict no to the late night bashes

A decree to minimize the mascara on those incipient lashes.

"Let me know if you had the hots for someone"

"Facts of life you should know from me, your mum".

She tied the lass to her apron strings

And kept a watchful eye over her growing wings.

But soon there was a drastic change in the little lady's form

Was it the silence before the storm.

The leaves of the young tree started withering in the wind

Nervous hands of clock ticked when she thought her daughter could have sinned.

As she dug deep to find the nugget of truth

Hot on the trail ,like a shrewd sleuth.

Unable to bear the pain her daughter confided in her

She stopped dead in tracks after learning the truth, one after another

No, it was neither the stranger

Nor the teenager from the adjoining manger

Facing the truth,her world came down to shambles

On learning both had lost their virginity to the same man with whom they lit the daily candles.

She was struck by a fate worse than death

Thinking of her husband who would father his own child's child,she fell short of breath.

"Is being molested loss of virginity?

"No", she said, "as my child has not yet lost her purity"

The Soldier

Many footed fleet

Saw a choice of fight or flight

Fought fear, then the feet.
