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!
