Jekyll And Hyde Poem by Sathya Narayana

Jekyll And Hyde

Rating: 5.0


He is my friend! An old friend!
With a different kind of mind
For dinner, I invited him
He laughed, "Only Sunday for a chum"
"You know? I'm a busy man"

Yeah! He is busy! Very busy! !
Always in a bureaucratic frenzy
Throwing files and
Scowling at menials
Wielding power and
Shielding misdemeanor
Making rulings and
Raking under the table dealings
Drooling and squealing
Like a swine in sewer stinking

For him it is the Elysium
A corrupted mind's addictive opium
Honesty's grand mausoleum
I said with concern, "Yes Mr. Hyde
I wait for Jekyll, till week end"
