Scouring

Scouring

A Poem by Satish Verma
"

Like a bee, you wanted to land―

"
Like a bee, 
you wanted to land― 
on the snapdragon’s, 
curved lip. 

Light years away― 
a mouth gapes open; 
you will not, 
walk in. 

A wrenching search, 
for a home, where 
you will not find 
the violence. 

A wax palace, you 
are invited to live in. 
The dummies, abound, 
without backbones.

~ for me, this is astute social commentary... but i do hope to see a world that doesn't inflict violence on every family... or a world where every family doesn't inflict violence within and thereby assault the world... ~ violence of any kind is just too damaging and hard to accept in any form...
