Stealthy Steps Of Darknesss Poem by Jaishree Nair

Pure as lily she was,
with an inner glow radiant,
Purpose staunch in her tread-
her goal her only vision!

Acts of law shuffled in her mind,
Perhaps aiming to bring justice to the injustices-
The need of the period firm in her mind!
The only solace her mother disquieted...

Never a peep of skin enticing lusty looks,
Never a sign of coquettishness,
Innocence vivid on her moon face,
Trust shone on her eyes clear!

Unaware of the devilish glee of doom dampening the darkness-
like cat's eyes piercing the blackness
searching to lash its lust of bottled venom!

An unsuspecting soul full of life
Prey to the insane whim of a brute...
Entrails ripped apart and blown in the wind
Justice blindfolded and hiding its face!

The four -leggeds howling in the darkness
roaming -seeking-waiting to pounce
The vigilantes, law holders shrugging nonchalantly-
Fertilizing the breeding of like parasites!

An awakening of morality
Digging up the values buried deep,
A surfacing essential to salvage-
what is left of humanity!
