Jashmina, I thought Sylvia Plath would resonate with you!: A poem 

Do you know Jashmina, there can be no life 

in hating and vengeance; but submitting to 

evil is certain death! You should understand 

what I am trying to tell you? So, suffering that  

comes from belief is not a crime against one’s 

honour; but the fighting bravery of retaining it! 

Did you know Sylvia Plath hated her father?! She 

never forgave him to her dying day, when she 

committed suicide! And she tried suicide many times before! 

You know I suffered so much treachery from your evil Dada; 

anyone in my shoes would have been absolutely 

devastated by the eternity and perennialism of its existence 

in my life, and my own eternity. But I 

have never been weak-minded, always persevering! 

It is God’s strength! It is his believing in himself! 

Forget about sparing me, did your evil Dada even spare you  

from his morphing vampirisms and bodygrabbing? 

So, I can understand why you fear him so much 

and betray me for him, me, the one who eternally 

loved you and sacrificed for you! Is pretentiousness  

your cure, Jashmina? That prevents you from reciprocating 

my selflessness to you? And I ask you, are the wicked  

so strong and indomitable in their mendacity, that brave  

warriors like me cannot deliver their comeuppance and 

retribution? Should you know that the only justice that can  

be had is lex talionis? But how I always exercise restraint  

for you? And only have suffered in vain to this day, 

knowing all evil’s treachery and being patient. You know  

Sylvia Plath called her father a bastard! What do I call yours  

in my patient self-demolition! Should I call him the biggest 

creep, pervert of the ages? Who didn’t spare My Mum, Dad,  

or anybody I loved, my pets, my armies, or my loyalties with his evil?
