Anger and an Orphan

Gobinda Biswas

Anger is like fire in every sense
Like fire anger has strong burning power,
Fire burns to ashes everything that touches it
Likewise wrath kills all sooner or later.
All the suns are like the gigantic fire-balls
They have flames that spread thousands of miles,
These are the horrible tentacles of Octopus
Wrath like fiery flames gobbles up all families.
All the monarchs are the Cannute, the king of Denmark
They always boast that they can control all,
Sadly enough they are the slaves to anger
Like the fallen angels they too cruelly fall.
Two brothers live happily with their parents
They grow gradually; jealousy is born among them,
They get married and later become self-centered
Jealousy and anger burn and make them lame.
Sometimes they become beside themselves with wrath
They set on fire to some wife’s body,
She embraces all and they die of burn injury
‘Parents, where are you?’, their children cry hysterically.
The love of Darby and Joan succeeds in marriage
It was weak like the plot of Guy Fawkes,
For their strong passion turns into horrible anger
They commit suicide, the little child gets orphan and begs.
A maid and her wight are obsessed for each other
They dream a cottage of their own,
Parents reject their marriage proposal, they become angry
Unnaturally they demise and they become cruelly alone.
