Hey You, a children's poem

Hey you,

How do you do?

My name is Blue.

What about you?

Hey you,

Nice to meet you.

I like your shoes.

Do you like mine too?

Hey you,

Do you know the way to the zoo?

I want to see a kangaroo,

Or hear a cockatoo.

Hey you,

I am from Kathmandu.

I ate chicken vindaloo.

Now, I have stomach flu.

Hey you,

Can you guide me to,

The nearest loo.

Thank you.

Polished Sins

A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

RETARD

This poem is a deeply personal and emotional reflection on the labels and judgments women endure, often imposed by a society steeped in misogyny. From a young age, I’ve been vocal against the derogatory terms and stereotypes used to demean women, particularly those who have been victims of abuse. I remember standing up for a woman who had been sexually abused in her youth, only to be dismissed as “PAGAL” when her suffering led to a mental imbalance. Even as a child who had faced molestation like countless women, I understood how one traumatic incident could leave a lasting scar on a person’s psyche. This awareness made me fiercely protective of children, regardless of their gender. It also sharpened my insight into the hypocrisy of some men—those who insult and demean the daughters of others while demanding respect for their own families. These actions reflect deep-rooted misogyny, where men fail to see how their behaviour violates the nurturing instincts of women and perceive any reta...

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
