Couples: No Anger Please! Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Couples: No Anger Please!



In an electrical circuit-breaker
male contacts move towards
and unite with the female contacts
with a firm grip
the circuit-breaker is in 'ON' position
contacts housed in a cooling medium
that quenches the arc, if any
when contacts try to separate
re-striking voltage develops
more than the normal voltage
between the contacts
that creates arc in the medium.
Marriage is like an electrical circuit-breaker.
Ego between couples
brews the anger
like the re-striking voltage
raises the pitch of sound
adds to temperature of body cells
more than the normal level
creates 'spark' in the relationship
no more 'love'...the cooling medium
marriage turns unsustainable
like the 'OFF' position
in the electrical circuit-breaker.

Couples: No Anger Please!
POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Anger, a by-product of ego has been diagnosed as the principal cause of divorce in recent times. A modest attempt has been made to make the couples aware of it by a suitable analogy.
