Metamorphoses

English Poetry, Jul 2011 Contest |
World classics tell
an umpteen number of tales
of betrayal
to illustrate their actions.
*
Judas’ betrayal of Jesus
for a handful of silver coins
is deeply ingrained
in the human minds, all over the world.
*
In the denial of throne
and kingdomof Ayodhya, terrain,
to guileless Rama; the role well played
by Kaikeyi against the plan executed.
*
From time immemorial
father, mother and in-laws
son, daughter and siblings
with envious skill
overpower, blocking
the progress of the other
in tricky situations, mocking;
Lovers hit by Cupid’s arrows too suffer.
*
While virtue is at stake
a human metamorphoses into a traitor
and turns disloyal
to the kin, friends or country alike.

Very poetic and refreshing
वैरी पोएटिक एंड refreshing
Well, jealousy is a national trait in India, so they all betray each other.
@Apurva Bharat Gaglani,
Medhini,
Fine appraisal of a tricky topic. Human nature is so baffling.
Kusum
a very touchy topic brought out well
in the poetic form
Nice one. Llked it
The principle most adopted is
“Better betray than be betrayed
so betrayal is less biting or bothering” 🙂
Medhini,
good. It is a change that from within also distorts our faces.
