Slash me, stone me, slay me,
throw me in the gallows or gag me.
Tie my limbs and drag me over rugged stones,
hang me in the guillotine and let the head go flying.
Run a bull dozer over or very painstakingly slit the throat.
Slice open every vein with pointed needles and razor sharp blades ,
Or even trigger a gun on my forehead
Any any form of punishment will be a Catharsis.
A purging and a healing!

MOMENT
That last sitting and that meeting,
Where we had a recollecting;
Where we treaded in the past
and captured that moment in glass.
Reflected in the reflection
of the days of perfection!
Glorious were those fragile moments
though they were relived in glass!
Too soon the glass cracked
unable to keep track,
and shattered into a million pieces
like debris of houses after bombshell.
My stained hands bled profusely
carpeted the wet floor with crimson blood
while trying to retrieve the slip- slided moment
and fragments of glass!

BETRAYAL OF THE SENSES..
Looks like my ears want a break from hearing since what it heard on Saturday was way beyond its poor ability to fathom, accept and digest.
Now it'll do no hearing, not under any circumstance and that's a very critical situation for a teacher person like me. It's hilarious too! Imagine walking into a class of young, boisterous, enthusiastic and energetic lads full of exciting stories to relate to a teacher whose ears are totally blocked !!! :(
At first, they think it's a new strategy , an 'act deaf game' that I'm playing to discipline but then they realize it goes way beyond. Soon I see naughty smiles and naughtier gestures!
However, I have to confess that these young lads have been very supportive. Everyone wishes, 'Salamat' which is 'Get well soon' in Arabic; a sure sign of untainted heart.
On the other hand, this is a moment of utter frustration and I'm desperate to figure out why my sense of hearing is betraying me. Or is it a support?
Maybe it feels I need these days of silence as relief from those horrifying utterances. My grandma often advised me to be very watchful of my tongue; now I truly understand the wisdom behind that advice. The effect of ‘bad words’ on one’s brain is beyond any explanation.
Therefore, it may be that I need this silence, this make belief, 'NIRVANA' to come to terms with bitter reality.
But reality also has it that such a condition is abnormal and I need to fix an appointment with an ENT.
Now it is my turn to betray the sense.(

ANSWERS, PLEASE...
It's strange how the so called Civilized People use the most atrocious of language to vent out anger. Had it been in the days of Puritanism, such an act would be considered 'blasphemy' and the person 'an outcast' with a 'label’. However in today's world everything is acceptable; that’s how open minded we are...
I on the other hand may be a creature from Mars or Venus or the Underworld (if the previous two options are too good for me) to be appalled by such a behavior. Nonetheless, I am, and in desperate need of answers for the innumerable questions gnawing my sense of reasoning.
To begin with,
1. Who gives anyone the authority to be abusive?
Haven't we learnt right from our tender childhood the mannerisms befitting to a modern society?
2. What exactly is Modernism if our minds are perverted, narrow and rigid?
3. Who is guiltier; the one who is abusive or the other who is passive?
4. Should the ‘passive’ also adopt the path of the ‘abusive’and then behave like stray dogs fighting over a lean piece of meat?
5. What or how exactly should the passive express his/her innocence?
6. Does the word 'trust’ have a completely different meaning to Civilized People?
Looks like I need to visit the bookstore for an update.

DARJEELING
Darjeeling,
nestled in the hills
that has towering peaks
where the sun plays , 'hide and seek'
whose beauty is an enchantment,
a bewildermanet and a bafflement.
LAB ' E-20'
Watch out for falling whiteboards
Whose screws decide to give up
tired of the ‘hanging job’.
Even though you’re standing
far away
the snap and the crack
and the flying shards
of a laptop screen
hurt more than enough.
It’ll frighten your wits out
Leave you in doubt
Make you wonder
At what caused that thunder.
It’ll appall and assault
every sense, every nerve.
Will kill all the verve
With the unexpected swerve!
Therefore, stay reserved
In a safe curve
In order not to get
What you don’t deserve!
