Jealousy-The Most Read Contest
(How Dare!)
Hate and jealousy have no dimensions
Calm I appeared for none to suspect
A nuclear bomb had blasted me apart
The adrenalin had evaporated
My eyes were like veiled magnesium balls
My nostrils were polluted with the air of jealousy
My heart inflated and deflated like a lost gas balloon
Realised I was a grainy sandy mountain of strength
Gathered my broken bones joined them
With the delusion of sweet gelatine
Settled my hairy antennas and stitched my ripped wits
Set my mental clock right to hear my ticking pulse
Turned back the pages to re-read the cause of this
Atomic disaster. Funny how complacency and
Underestimating every opponent as a friend
Had mutilated my whole being. My words
Uttered, my plans imbibed and carried away my
Yearned for prize froze my ulcered voice
Haunting silently, 'How dare!'.
HONOURABLE MENTION
