The Smile Of The Taksak-01: The Two Hoods-01 Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

The Smile Of The Taksak-01: The Two Hoods-01

Rating: 5.0


With its two hoods

Taksak, the most venomous of Snakes

on the three worlds,

lives a cancerous life

in many hearts,

the hearts that are

always simulated by the witty brain

to poison,

to treason,

to spite,

to spit

to add kinks along the lofty paths

of innocent childhood,

sensitive adolescence

and vigorous youth.


With one hood clad

with branded chivalry it kisses-

right on the lips of craving souls

who seldom would understand

its sciolous after effects.

With the other

dark with venomous urges

and vulturish poignance

It lures the days

unto its bed of lust,

It urges the autumn moons

to imbibe an ominous look

that skirts on the edge of

his sacrilegious appetites.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is an intermittent attempt of mine to translate a series of poems under the title 'Taksaka Ra Hasa' (Odia Poems) involving the villains of our society in different walks, especially in the field of education.
Time has come to figure those evil parasites out and uproot them.
This happens to be the basis of the series of poems, a weak attempt to gather the strong people around so that a victorious battle can be fought.

My friend 'the poet poet' had urged me to decapitalize the poems- I have tried my best to cope with his request, I ask the other readers to pardon If they are acquainted them with capital letters.

always simulated by the witty brain to poison, to treason, to spite, to spit to add kinks along the lofty paths of innocent childhood, wow, a great write. Loved the essence of the poem. These serpents are many in number. A single person can't fight them out, a revolution is necessary. 10++++
