Throw thorns her way You won’t see her weep Hurt her day after day Silence she will keep She will not display Her abject discontent Impassive she will stay You will not hear her lament Stoicism she has learnt Over the merciless years She has been burnt By her helpless tears * She waits, in vainContinue reading “Woman”

Every generation needs a new revolution. -Thomas Jefferson Explosive anger Endless frustration Thinly veiled rancor Against domination Bubbling resentment Rising to the surface Anguished predicament Visible on the face Cries of protest Going up in the air All that they detest Amalgamated with despair They are ready to struggle They are willing to die In thisContinue reading “Beginning of a revolution”

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings- always darker, simpler and emptier. –Friedrich NietzscheIn wishful thinking I indulge Dreaming of what I can’t divulge Thoughts that boundaries explore Of societal norms, pushing for more Skirting scandalous domain With power to inflict pain Thoughts that when transformed Into words can drop some bombs Thoughts that areContinue reading “Dark thoughts”
