The Ring of Diamond
Old sayings are gold for many
Proverbs are power house of wisdom to some
‘’Tit for tat ‘’is one such ring of diamond
Worn on their necks, revenge is its another sweet name
The lure or the allurement of it is so strong
That hardly could I, too, avoid to use it
To answer any misdeeds done to me
So I hate those who hate me
This is a very simple equation
And very equitable with the third of law of motion
And stationary things I dislike, in fact, there is nothing stationary
In relative term everything is in motion
You, me, their hate and my reaction
But I have a problem with myself
For granted I cannot take old things and old sayings as they are
I put things down side up
And upside down
Then stir it with my long handled spoon
The reason is obvious I cannot carry forward a lie
Or live in falsehood or say like a sage
Love those who hate you
I am not a prophet either, otherwise, I would say
Hate the sin not the sinner
I am mare a poet, a pretty writer
And have a big habit to pretend what I am not
And develop a knack to show people
That I am too busy with my love
And have no time for big hating business
Neither the people who hate me
Nor are the people who by mistake use the old sayings indiscriminately.
