A Battle Of Words Poem by Avik Datta Gupta

Battling words up against each other
Sharpened and tightened to the last syllable
Gets prepared to be fired like a projectile
Invisible to the human eye
A deadly duel of supremacy
A never ending debate..of relentless arguments
But, we all need to prove our point
Absolutely, emphatically and mostly arguably
It is our sole purpose and our primary source of worth
And we are equipped with a word for everything
Ordinary comparatives to the extreme superlatives
Shot like a missile of messages, in all the colours of emotion
Hitting head on…winning over…losing out
And the battle rages on, a battle of words…
There are things all in the mind..
Causes are not always known, answers get eclipsed by ego
Leaving chagrined remains of our joyous souls
The battle of words, will never ever cease
The foolish foes that duel would be hard to please
Little did they realise, that words that battle will never die
As immortal missiles get on being hurled by the mortal lives
