Amazon Worker



Hey there Amazon Worker,
Do you think you pulled one over?


Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride.
I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect.


Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn.
As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt.


Do you think I care if people change the way they stare?
I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died.


It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother—
What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another?


Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child.
I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild.


Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done,
I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun.


If you thought you were good for my image,
Know this: my growth surpasses your limits.


I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page,
And I will stand tall, owning my own stage.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

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.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
