Thankyou Sneha for your comment. The quantum of violence that we read about, experience and witness at various levels of global society has succeeded in corroding our consciousness and has rendered us incapable of responding - perhaps this was my reaction to the perennial torrent of violence that has engulfed and penetrated our societies. This anger, revenge and frustration should rightfully translate into constructive responses - atleast at the personal level, it should make us more sensitive. Reply to this

Hi Sudha. Thanks for your detailed feedback. Have you read the 'Angry young Man' plays that were written by John Osborne? I felt a similar kind of anger emancipating from your poem. Indeed, life is not 'just' about all roses; infact it never is, if you ask me and your poem brings out the aspect so very well. You must surely write more. Reply to this

Sudha, Nice to see you here, Madam! But I enjoyed your other poetry, esp "Salute to a Sentinel" more than this - Please continue with nice, refreshing poetry, some of which I have read, and I am sure that will brighten up someone's day. Vengeful spirit is almost making the reader take up arms?! Maybe that was your intention, but hope 4iw readers get to see your positive poetry more! Reply to this

Thankyou, Leslie! Bitterness and anger are emotions that find better expression than happiness and compassion - be it in action or words. Shouldn't we try and break this negative trend? Sudha Reply to this
