Sipra's Diar : Poetry Prompt of..."DENNIS RHODES".......

 

                              (M)

   RESPOND TO DENNIS RHODES   [ lines=30]


 The poetry prompt of Dennis Rhodes

Is open call to the bards with OCD symptoms

Most of whom will swoop down over burning examples :

Fresh murder of Tyre Nicolus who was a photographer,

Ever joyful, youngest son,  spiritually close to mother,

Had a tattoo in her name on his arm; 

struggled hard to escape;

His tragic fate ended with 

 A shrilling  cry,”mom”! with  last breath!

He took a photo of enormous sunset 

Whistling cheerfully before going back to home 

While chased by five polices  

For unlimited speed of motorbike:

[“Man proposes, God disposes” ]. 

Who knows   the ‘photo of sunset’ 

would lead him to ultimate Home?

George Floyd , might  occupy Rhodes’ mind at that time ……


Condemn to the country and police, 

For  professional failure or frailty!

Such  heinus  murder of innocent lives 

Is an assault to basic  humanity.

But not justifiable to focus on 

The color of the skin of any community !

This mundane earth is eternally worshipper of power

Whether physical, psychological or spiritual, no matter!

“Eat or to be eaten” declared Darwin,

 As the stronger wins over weaker.

Law-makers  are also law –brokers: 

Owner of power, real game players

Time and situation decides who, when, 

where, will pop  up the next murder.
