Best Poems Written by Shana Pahari

Better

Better dead than living,
Better terminated than throbbing,
Better left than held,
Better abandoned than acquired.

Better understand than love,
Better pouncing than dancing,
Better challenged than agitated,
Better hungry than satiated.

Better feline than canine,
Better violence than romance,
Better cunning than running,
Better punched than bunched.

Better sorry than safe,
Better thrown than bowed,
Better disturbed than serene,
Better abused than adored.

Better soiled than vowed,
Better cuffed than chatted,
Better rough than soft,
Better fire than freeze.

Better statued than tattooed,
Better chaos than calm,
Better broken than forgotten,
Better strange than ordinary.

Better… always better.
