Poetry

Former Vs Latter

Deservedly they weep for the first.

Because the lag is reverse.

Deep down cossets her child.

As a stopgap who else is so mild?

She is a candle of home.

For offspring, like a sky-dome.

Unbrokenly veneers his idiocy.

But the latter unearths everything with obstinacy.

The former nabs kid’s sadness.

What’s more, wells over with gladness.

Stony soul badgers a verdant soul.

A betrayal of trust on the whole.

Heartily glad in his delight

Unduly glum when he be out of sight.

But the last-mentioned, destitute of philia,

A wight of excessive jealousy and mania.

The erstwhile slaps on wrist for his mistake.

She does so only for his sake.

The second gives a slap on back for wrong way.

Rugged test to return until hair turn grey.
