UNFORGIVABLE CULPRIT by Naheed Akhtar

UNFORGIVABLE CULPRIT

Naheed Akhtar

Oh the self!

Being hanging a little in the rare

Like a child unwrapping chocolate bars

Preoccupied with fanciful curls

Of nuts sweet

With the pleasant corners of the mouth

In the invaluable walk

It was a crime-

Of negligence not innocence

Ignorance is punishable

And it deserves no mercy..

Naheed Akhtar is a poetess from India.
