The Uxoricide.


      In corporeal terms
     The charred mortal remains looked
     As a bundle of burnt wood.
     Feelings of woe,neither owed nor owned,
     Fixed the issue as closed.
     Truth stood incinerated.
     There was no submission of faith
     Either uxorious or filial.
     When the mind turns into a morgue,
     Passing away becomes more a prerogative
     Than being born.
     That one can choose one's funeral,
     At the behest of one's conjugal blues,
     Labels the better half as a badger
     Beside and from behind.
     Here, the bereaved husband
     Sang his ready made fake requiem,
     Lamenting the loss of some one
     He hardly ever tried to love.
                                           P.Chandrasekaran.
