Infliction In Action

INFLICTION IN ACTION

        Infliction silent or sonorous,
        disguised or detectable
         run parallel with journey of life.
                                                                 
        Sterile born clad in innocence
       through childhood carrying painful experience.
       Me confronting hostile domestic front
        devoid of Mom’s affection and care.
       A helpless resistless powerless child
       grinded in grave gravels of neglect and disregard.
 
        Counted my days to reach adulthood
         to escape from antagonistic atmosphere
        searching at least a peaceful sphere to roam
        in a sweet home.
      
         Worked vigorous taking life as challenge.
        Proceeded as lone fighter, life to arrange.
       Thanks to my nature holding hope and courage. 
                                                                 
         Met my desired goal.
         Performed own successful role
         guided by my sublime soul,
         honoring Dad as my idol.
         
        Enjoyed life and love
       Shocked on infliction to observe.                 
       yet only pleasant things cannot recur
       Constriction- infliction will occur.
       
     Till heart pulsates, infliction will make upset. 
     But at least delicate defenseless childhood 
      should be exempted.
