Mindful Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

As the yelling mouth
unyieldingly ranted,
unaware of the ramifications
that lied ahead.

Unsaid things gurgled out
and worries compounded.
wilting woes welled inside
every passing second.

Mouth lost the plot
and forgot that it is just
a channel, a medium of
the bungling mind.

The idiotic rants
came out in a shrill and
relentless manner.
And things turned turtle.

The mouth assumed
authority and maimed the
mind into a comatose state
as calumnies poured forth.

The mind still knew
what will be if mouth reigns
on and on and has
its way forever.

In hopeless state too
the mind rose somehow in
its defence and asserted
over the rampant mouth.

Mind made the mouth to
tender apology for its
vagrant ways and
all is indeed well now.
