Let’s Get Extinct
- a Poem
- by Mistella
In a world bitten by patriarchy,
Don’t ask for assurance.
Love, emotions, all stay forever
But don’t crave for endurance.
In your smiles
there shouldn’t be an essence of wit.
Wait for the call saying, “come and sit”.
Don’t speak what you are not expected to say,
Just lie down in the arms and get moulded like the clay.
Stay soft, listen more,
Enjoy the music when your love snores.
Your commitment will be measured
As per your expectations.
Don’t be ashamed of a life with longings,
And without any belongings.
In a world ridden by culturalism,
You will be tied to a thread
Of alienation.
Stay tied, don’t struggle to be free,
For vulnerability is the beginning of extinction.
