Dangerous Monk

Chongtham Ronikumar

Why doesn't thou do thy homework?
For I , at the behest of mine elder brother,
Did leave my land - not to earn scolding,
But to earn awards ,
By not staining my hands in malpractice.
I seek no bluff with Lord Yama ,
Nor twist the truth
Of a broken vehicle mended by own mine hand.
Yet - two screws remain unfixed,
For I think too much of my homemaker.
Let it be proven
By my good son ,
In days to come -
And known , universally.
