SOME TEARS FOR THESE MOTHERS EVERYDAY

The mother's despair rises psychotic 
Her head exlodes the ground, chest she tears at
Among scatter'd pieces of son's mortals...
She stands, she runs, she begs, then falls...
She writhes in pains, sits up, and rends the air
With heart-bursting cries, and decries
Cursing the killer's mother heavenwards,
'Is this which you bore your son for?'
To which replies, owefully, the other mother,

'Do curse me, do kill me, O mother, 
For giving birth to an agent of terror!
I know not yet how I was robbed of son
From my bosom, from my lactating urn
To grow on poison of execration,
Hatred, violence, with guns for 'fun',
Among innocent, frail other toddlers
Stolen from unfortunate other mothers,
And grow them to murder, and run amok
From dusk to dawn, and dawn to dusk...
But I know my son will never return
From the Azrael's blade of execution
To see this decrepit mother dying, rotting,
unattended, all alone...
By quirks of fate you, O mother, got your son
Enshrined in the true path of martyrdom,
But I lost mine to grow as a demon,
And for the barbarity of my son,
I wish my head be blown off my shoulder!!
But have your divine mercy, O mother,
To grant my wish to hug and suckle each grain
Of your Martyr's remains to grow, sustain
Thousands of heroes--champions like your son--
To annihilate the sinners like my son,
And rid the Earth of the vandals of religion...'

Then hears the killer's mother a pitiful cry
Of silence as the martyr's mother lie still 
The coffer of her son in her tight embrace,
The whole infernal pain sets on her face,
Then sinks she into her son's relics of heroics
'Gainst the Satans' evils and barbarics ...

I DO CRY : SONNET 59

I cry, I do cry breathless like a baby. You notice me or not but I do cry-- Whole drown'd in tears--be it night or day it be-- No care if you find me absurd and wry. But I can't be unfair to cry, or vague If crying can protect me from strokes of death  That nothing else on earth can, though I beg With my bowl'd palms held heavenward in good faith. Yes, I do cry. (Whoe’er on earth will not With the betrayer's dagger stabb'd in heart?) But know my tears will flow all through the drought And grow new plants of love ere life does 'part. Maybe to kill the fatal pain the heart bears, Come out generously life-giving tears. -- N. P. SAMAL 

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

Infants gambol about their home With blooms and toys, But they return to mom's bosom For the real joys. Children frolic about the streams, In meads and hedges, But to their home they return for Their real flowerage. Youths do rush about crazy for World's whole treasure, But they return for real living To own life and career.  Adults get sunk into the labour With dedication, But this's the return to raise well Their own children.  The old trudge about the yard Of their nursing shed, But lastly they return for rest To their death bed. -- N.

MAMA'S FRIENDS GO TO SCHOOL : RHYME 90

Mama says 'No!' to monkey who wants To go to her school, The monkey gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to squirrel who wants To go to her school, The squirrel gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to parrot who wants  To go to her school, The parrot gets piqued and makes  'Growl, growl, growl!'. Mama says 'No!' to sparrow who wants To go to her school, The sparrow gets piqued and makes 'Growl, growl, growl!'. But all her friends do go behind her As she leaves home, And look at her through the window From outside the classroom.  Mama angrily tells them to go back  From her school, But they get piqued and make 'Growl, growl, growl!'. - N P SAMAL
