Tooth Brush

Tooth Brush Tender bristles plenty in number Against the shiny enamel Like ears of millet plantation Tossing heads Against perfumed brush of swooning breeze Allure tongues not lesser Than vehement kisses O! Tooth Brush! Charmed equally Miners and milliners You are simply a principle A scientific proposition Easy to understand and easy to follow You’ve traversed all the barriers Whether caste, creed, faith or genders Shaped the humanity By taking out of suicidal tendency Green twigs with candid smile on their Countenance often whisper Words of gratitude And thankfulness chirruped around O! Tooth Brush! Unpredictable behavior of men Berserk nature And distressing time have left us Rattled to the core. New era of uncertainty Has befallen on humanity We no longer behave social Neither have we believed in equality When our branded outfit fails to work We resort to verbal dominance. We reposed to coughing like Cart-harnessed horses. For myriad reasons Ranging from evolution to culture Life taken to extremes Are but common sights. Wellness is being traded in the colonies Where regular vegetable venders even don’t Find it conducive to sit in. Some of us are confined in comma For more than a decade now. We have requested our lawmakers To formulate a statute On rights to death To plausibly justify the supremacy Of faith upon humanity. Our problems are grave And time grim. Poets must be excused. It is modern world rendering The poetry this difficult, O! Tooth brush! Time is also not ripe to doubt our pedagogy. When it is felt necessary We would need your proposition Of universal acceptance And anti suicidal instinct Further reduced To simple mathematical form, So that it can be included in curriculum For coming generations To prepare psychologically For radical surprises O! Tooth Brush!
