Observing a man
Walloping his cat,
For mewing without respite,
Gripped by fright
A dog kept quite,
In a pitch-dark night
When a thief
Heading the gate past
Stole into a hut!"
Read this tale to me my aunt
When I was
On the wrong side of an infant,
To hit home" Never bury the fact !"
With a dump eye
I condoned the walloping
Of colleagues
Who asked
"Injustice and ill treatment why?"
Anon, my turn turned up
And I suffered a deadly slap!
Bubbling up
From my memories back
The meaning of the tale
I heard four decades back
Appeared to me stark
When I suffered
A similar meaningless
Power exercising attack!
