Invention, Imagination! ! ! Poem by malini kadir

Invention, Imagination! ! !
My foot! My anger at this dissection!

Some times a pile of junk
Can inspire the mind to pluck!

An empty can to music
A broken arm to a sling out of bare amenities!

A torn dress to design safety pins
A tired mum to design electrical grinders

A sick brother to research medical miracles
Sweat pouring down the forehead to sticker bindis for the beloved!


a young defenceless boy beaten up with belt

`````````````````````````````````To a soft woman

Who will love and understand the roaming
rootless spirits of the misunderstood child,
A boy's pains of growing up.....
A man's pain when he tries to balance

A demanding wife and mother
A loving brother who loses touch with his sister

A man who has to cross seas to earn
To make a living to keep the fires in his home burning!

Love is discovered, not designed!
Inventions and imaginations can enhance it perhaps!

But raw chemistry needs to exist
To ever tickle the senses to imagine at all!

You can invent lies
But surely can you invent ties?
