NOTWITHSTANDING….

POEM

Notwithstanding his power,

vigour and strength

we never hesitate to

take on him and 

enter into a fight with him.

Notwithstanding a thorny

rose plant we are not

afraid of plucking

the beautiful, attractive,

fragrant rose flowers.

Notwithstanding a dictator

equipped with bombs,

chemical weapons and

sophisticated weapons

the citizens never backtracks   

instead put up a brave face

and fight to the hilt these days.

A cactus plant though

is hated by many

it has its own beauty

and once in a while

it gifts us beautiful flowers

and tempts us to pluck

them even if its

thorns in all probability

hurt one with blood drops

making appearance with a slight pain

in our fingers.

Citizens across the

world often turn

cynical witnessing a

chain of blood-chilling

incidents and we

expect at any moment

we too may turn victims to the

machinations of a heartless

soulless world…..
