MEN WILL BE MEN



Hiding the sore eyes 
and blaming the chilli,
opening the jars
and sneezing into them,
counting hours
and losing hair,
swelling chests
and shrinking inside,
looking after
and then looking away,
choosing pink
and feeling blue.

So much to justify the three letters,
when they only needed to walk beside
and not ahead of anyone.

Un-Knowing

image source: www.manseacrh.com2019 I do not want to know, About the children, the women, or the animals. I do not want to know, If she or he or it or they were asking for it. I do not want to know, If they are dead, alive or dying. I do not want to know, Which race, religion, class or caste they're from. I want to shut my ears and make no sound, Bow my head and walk around. Because if I know, I will shatter, Shrink, dissolve, wither into nothingness. If I know, I cannot function, If I know, I'd want to un-know. -bryam If you have anything to share, comment below or write at  bariambredeemson700@gmail.com #Visit full profile by clicking the home button to know tittle more about the author.

I cannot say I remember

image credit: pinterest Then suddenly they showed the faces  The change had found where they lived  The names were replaced too quickly  They found where they were hid Circled in wagon filled tragedies  No one rides off to the west Attention now asks for a holiday  While famila is held to the test I cannot say I remember  Reading in foreign tongues  How I wish it were yesterday  And this world today was still young.

Possibilities

                Image: Pinterest there could've been a world  where you and i  wouldn't have met. or met but not fallen in love. or fallen in love  but not let go. or let go  but never remembered. or remembered but never missed. and it breaks  me apart  to wonder. which is the life we'd live. which is the life we'd leave.
