“I am small.
So are stars from a distance. It’s all a matter of perspective.”
― C. Kennedy, Slaying Isidore’s Dragons
Accusations,
I have heard many
insults you have hurled
some
You have unbirth
many excuses to
hide under
the veil of your
mistakes and
and then some;
You are done with
your victim shaming
and name calling
you have got my love
confused with
my submission;
It is time to strip
and peel you off
the patriarchal robe
you adorn
sitting high and mighty
on the throne;
You have the list
of mistakes and guilt
you ignored
Your empire is
gonna crumble down
as I see cracks
made by my
bloody knuckles;
You will run like
never before
prepare to get hunted
like a bloodied boer
it’s the end of an era
of pain and abuse
cause, My king!
your time is up.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Baahubali-2 The Conclusion. Your poem had similar vibes to the movie. King slaying, thrones, kingdom. Very powerful poem.
