Poet

Groan not, o’ child-groan not!
Just thank the universe for this respect;
God created thou as thou art
And thank him for what thou art not!
Thou art in no way a Cupid
And thou shall

go stupid
If thou tryst becoming Cupid-like,
For no twins art intrinsically alike.
Thou hath thy meekness as a lamb hath its;
Thou hath thy wildness

as a cub hath its;
Thou hath thy ordinariness as Buddha hath his,
And thou hath thy arrogance as Hitler hath his.
And thou art here as thou art;
As Christ was there as he was.

    Chandra daju,
    I am happy to see you come into this lit. platform. Just could not avoid dropping down these few words of appreciation as I scanned briefly your article here. Admired that you have continued penning poems.
    Dom K, Adelaide
