RAPE

"Stay a bit, oh Miss; the rapist is in your path!",
Reports the State, and with apparent wrath
Threatens the crook with characterless warning,
"Go away, you bad guy; our daughter is coming."

The caution and frown now, then forgetful next,
The steps to cure the crime can't leave the text,
And the sin of omission so deep abiding
The opportunistic mind, it keeps recurring.

Relish the beasts as they lick off their lips
The bloody morsels of our daughter. Weeps
Her sieged up soul deaden'd in ghastly shock --
A sacrifice like a goat on the block!

The crime from yore yet brutally on rise,
Yet batters women this ruffian malaise;
The wild instinct of male domination
Yet theme for all for various exploitations.

The maniacs wreck havoc of lust and rape
Impunely from their savage hide; and safe,
Possessive humans start up from their flinching
And rant and rave adrenaline fast rushing.

Decry the crime the blokes and blondes in guise,
Buffet the air with their wavy outcries,
Minting of money, wresting of power and fame,
Behind blame they enjoy the taste of the game.

The masses here all read and watch and blush,
For acts worthless they gossip and gloss
Over the cups, the cards, with rage of course,
They flay the govt just with mere rains of curse.

Then drop all dead to comforts of their own;
In privacy, complacent fall their bandwagon;
All cringe back to their usual limit;
With elan does stray the beast's hunting spirit...

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 BATHROOM SINGER : SONNET 176

           The Bathroom Singer                        Sonnet 176 From the bathroom comes the voice and plays Around in many a number, gently touching Each lucky soul -- from youth to elder age -- With its enchanting notes of love and longing... But the singer wishes for no credit;  No listeners he does think to entertain, But him, alone, alone to suck each beat, Each tone, each pitch, each rhythm, each refrain, As the showery bathroom's walls replay His romantic, lovey-dovey numbers In the quiet hours each morn, each day In his cube-size happy universe... I doubt the man's self-entertaining soul If to amuse him, he has none in the Whole. ©️ N P Samal
