Extraction And Renunciation Poem by Indira Renganathan

Extraction And Renunciation

Rating: 5.0


Turned forty
Turned one tooth Wiggly
Pained badly, got extracted quickly

Poor he felt shameful
Thought without one tooth
Looking awful

Turned sixty
Black and brown and yellow
And broken..all gone.Lo
There's a lost battle field now

Made up his mind
Renounced all his war
Mindless of his look

A very meaningful write. As we grow older, we become wiser in dealing with life. Another brilliant write.

With age you get matured and renounce all worldly things. Even looking good does not matter. Very nice.
