On why I sometimes hate the Crab...

It lied
And looked the other side
It hid
Its face, embarrassed
It cowered
And ran away… All its life
It gave up
Hurt and harassed

It stammers
It pleads to let go
It tries
To find reasons to live
It avoids
Facing the hostile world
It cries
At what life had to give

It may
Survive the pangs of fate
And brave
The blemish, the pain
If only
It would get from the Skies
A chance
To live again




Crab: Poor thing… Wonder if an anti pimple cream would be of any help…
Me: There goes my poetry...

I like the way you used the three tenses in it.

And as soon as the tension built up, you dissipated it in one of the clearasil brand ambassador moments (does that cream still come btw?).

Crabby!

:) Thanks...

It was after i wrote the whole stuff that the Crab was tempted to break the line and act naughty... Heh...

Wese Clearasil was on top of my mind, but I deliberately avoided referring to any brand...
Pata nahi kaun kab kese kahan aur kyu koi morcha shuru karwa de...
