We

a poem by Yogesh G Nair

I have no words
to express my joy
as I realise
that I have been crowned
as Miss Universe.

She was helpless
for, she and her mother
had tried to bring
everything that they could
to satisfy the greed
of their in-laws.
Wordy duels, attacks and
torture at times
do not let her stand
on her own legs
forever.
