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 ...

KISS ME, PLEASE!

Woo-hoo...! Kisss you...u...u...u...??? Oh, I'm being frenzical !!! My slavering tongue is jerking fast And my quivering lips are pouting out With booms of kisses in the air -- Ummah...! Ummah...! Ummah...! Just yesterday, an okay got my promise. Today is the chance no way to miss. And ready is my basket with pecks, Lip-locks, French kisses, and other varieties... I'm also ready for the lizard kiss, And the kiss of the Spider man... And I'm sure I won't beg like Big B  -- (Juma, chumma de de chumma...), This is my right to kiss I earn'd this week. I shall kiss like one Dhoom 2's Hritthik-Aash's, Although I envy Emraan's 'Murderous' thriller kiss... I'm ready with my balmy lips, Strawberry flavour'd,  To be the biggest smoocher  Of do hazaar chhabees... And I have hidden the cracks  On my wintry lips  To save from rashes My Valentine's softy cheeks... Well with flushed up teeth, With cleaned up tongue, With exotic ...

THE CHILDREN OF GAZA

                 The Children Of Gaza                               A Blank Verse Thundering in the sky, then rain of missiles... See how they are fleeing arms outstretched  Like the broken wings of storm-hit birds, And see their faces white with fear and hunger And hear their throbbing voice of pain and loss... Over their head, the sky's no kites, no clouds, But fire and fire amidst engulfing smoke, And they are running like the Napalm girl  From Vietnam or standing frozen, like The standing boy from Nagasaki, before Their elders who are whispering in fear Or staring helpless in the gauge of Death... They are the hapless children caught in the war zone. They have no home, no school, no ground of freedom, But sole refugee camps and hospitals  If marching death has spared them of their life. They hear not bedtime tales but sirens of death.  For them,...

THE RETURN : RHYME 100

                    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 P Samal
