Deception Poem by ANJANDEV ROY

The baby was crying in pain and despair,
It was completely different from his natural cry,
He was ruthlessly deceived by the sweet dream,
That he dreamt while in mother's womb,
He would be born in the most beautiful and auspicious planet, the earth.
But in reality this did not happen at all,
The baby was born in an inauspicious earth,
The evil air that constantly blew in that land was replete with
The hottest ingredients of treachery, conspiracy, atrocity and enmity throughout,
Which was always burning the little baby's soft and smooth skin.
"Deception, cruel deception! " he smelt
And he was crying in deep frustration,
Though the mother was trying to console him,
"Don't cry, be calm and quiet, dear baby;
This is your wonderful planet, the most beautiful earth."
The baby screamed in absolute pain and agony.
