ACHANDA

Achanda  was a no-nonsense lass
Nurtured from a well meaning home
Went to a well established school
Harvested the good grades 
And went for further education
And finally passed all the examinations



Achanda was a no-nonsense lass
She grew up
Became a lady
She looked pretty
Kept her dignity 
Got a fine body
And looked tidy



Achanda was a no-nonsense lass
She  was poised and calm
But a no-nonsense lass
Men ran after her
But she minded her own businesses
The seduced her
But she subdued them
They praised her 
But ignored it all



Achanda was a no-nonsense  lass
She finished college
And went abroad
She met Derrick
A well meaning Irish lad
Derrick swept her off her feet
They danced in the maddening crowd
And brought life into the world


Achanda was a no-nonsense lass
But the glimmers disappeared with dusk 
When Derrick turned into a meaningless lad
He danced with all women in the mass
Mistreated Achanda
A no-nonsense lass
And alas, Achanda took her own life
Achanda gone to dust
Achanda was a no-nonsense lass
