Resilient

a poem by Jayati

Pinch, plagiarise plunder
Stab, attack thunder.
Claim hers as own, she never wonders.
More from her, one snatches
Nature replace in batches
Almighty Gods abundance;
Aggressions, torture body and mind
She excels in intelligence.
External subversives, sanctions
She uses to her advantageous actions;
A blessing in disguise-
Her positives; motivates.
She swallows humiliations and hurts
Melancholia, depression she never allows;
Stubbornly tenacious strides.
Terrorist thunder, bombs burst;
Nothing more could be for her worst.
From dagger assaults she staggers but
Never sinks. “Cauldron of cacophony” they say
Ridicule and mock her simple way.
Double standard, the hollow sophisticate share
Of their vacuous she is well aware.
