The Gentlemen From The Land Of Kings

 


Oh, hail the prince from the desert sands,
Where ancient stones still tightly clasp
The whispers of those silenced hands—
Daughters are buried before their first gasp.

Times have changed, or so they say,
For they no longer bury in clay,
But finds new ways to hollow hearts,
Leave women ruined, and torn apart.

Such men, draped in gentleman’s grace,
Polished shoes and a well-dressed face,
Hide behind their coat and tie,
As if fabric alone could sanctify.

Oh, the ones who strayed and sinned with pride,
In liquor’s haze and shadows wide—
Now deem a woman's rage as a sign unfit,
While they rebrand themselves as legit.

Laughing once after they tear women down,
Now they smirk beneath their crown.
For they are the saint in a well-fit suit,
While women are the fool who dared refute.

The boys who tried to charm us, cloaked in wealth,
With rare perfumes and Banarasi silk for stealth,
They think can fill the hollow with what money can buy,
Blind to the battles raging in our weary eyes.

For women, who asked for comfort, gentle hands to hold,
To shield and soothe when nights grew cold,
Found ourselves unheard, our voices dismissed,
As they clung to wealth's illusion, true care was unmissed.

The ones, who could not read the strain on our faces,
Bound by status, blinded by grace,
Thinks we craved their glittering show,
While our mind fought storms they’ll never know.

Let them cheer for their noble guise,
The "reformed" man they idolize—
While we, the unfit, burn within,
Stripped of zeal by their perfect sin.

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.

Stay Away

Stay away, stay away Keep those hands away Stay away, stay away I am not on display Stay away, stay away I just want my name on the hard black clay Stay away, stay away I am a kid who just wants to play Stay away, stay away All these memories are like a never-ending screenplay ~ Kanika Kaushal ✨ The Luminous Muse

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.

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, ...
