Neighbour

Neighbour

Subas Khanal

A storm of crisis swept through my home
The neighbor looked uncooperative
Instead, he blocked the way to my house
Those who come from afar
There was no way to come my house

The crisis was over

he threw the definition of neighbour
However, I did not complain

This year again
Another crisis drove the gun
Both of us were scared
He was resourceful
I am resource-less
The crisis got a little worse for me

I was moving at my own pace

He thought it was an opportunity
He remembered it was the time to squeeze my neck
He thought this was the time to fight me
And he began to grab the land I was on
And tried to bring an earthquake on my face

oh my Neighbor
It's enough
Remember;
When the escape route is closed -
Though he is child of man he fights with lion.

poetry sometimes offer us the outlet to rid ourselves of angst. Your situation is captured well, lets hope there is divine intervention and a pleasant resolution.
