Peacock

 


You may think you broke me
with all the cruel words you spoke,
but I have always been a Peacock.
I leave those love-colored iridescent tokens
everywhere I go.
Everyone treasures them and makes them forever keepsakes,
even if some of you would love to see me burn on stakes.

And you may think you made me cry...
but I am a Peacock—I thrive in those downpours...
You went around lecturing me to focus on simple chores...
while you were trying to grind for those plastic crores...
But even the Goddess Lakshmi is often symbolized by a Peacock by her side...
and even my name means Gold,
and you dared to call me a gold digger...
So, while you work in stealth,
I am the source of never-ending wealth...
Because I am a Peacock...

A few have explicitly told me
that would like to taste my muffins and cakes...
But I am like those rare porcelain sets—
not for folks like you
with your ridiculous schemes and tests.

And I am sure your binary brain would go
"but Peacock is manly..."
True...
because I can hold a room
with more authority than 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.

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, ...
