Mother-In-Law. Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

This was a mother in law
Of a different kind,
Delivered five girls
And a boy, always guarding
The chastity, marrying
them to rich families,
By posing to be of good leneage,
Deviding the sons in laws
By devilish interventions,
Making them fight
With brothers and sisters,
For paltry sums of inhertances,
Trying to be the lead lady,
And also making them
Dislike each other,
To make them disunited,
She ran the racket from
Her own home showing off
Her lone son the great protector
And defender of her wishes.
