Dad, there is nothing hollow in the purity of belief!: A poem 

O my poor Dad! What is the habitability zone? 

I gave you Olympus, but how could we have 

become like clouds dispersing from one another 

in the torrential rain? I am not going to freeze in such  

disparateness, I swear!  I am not mothballing 

like an old trainwreck! All the inconvenience 

of the ages, all the trapezing and walking on  

burning coals, should have set us free! 

But no! They want to give us medication 

to prolong their sins! I am just not a  

subtle, passive, receptacle of evil aggressors! 

No tame bull to a matador’s design! You know there 

can’t be any peace in this peonage; even if there 

is no war!!! I have not unsheathed all my swords; 

nor have I displayed all the trumps up my sleeve! 

They think they can have me misplaced, on misdirected! 

I didn’t even convince them that I am not a forlorn ship on 

the sea, waiting for the lunatic tide to take me! 

You know Dad, I have not asked for serendippity; 

There is a time that may see us share the divinity 

of darlings, nothing more to say, Dad! 

When we can become the frontiers of all belief, 

Even the backdrops of all vindication. 

A support system works even if there seems like none! 

Didn’t Mum give me that belief! And me as your very 

brave father give you the same! That there is a forever,  

even if all those villains make you believe there is only defeat!
