TITLE : EFFACING A PORTRAIT 

Intense sobriety received vehement indignation , 

For the innocence that splashed like a fountain. 

Careless and impetuous voices bruised with scars, 

Never bothering the simplicity of a mind in an  impulse .

Leveraging with a scorn in a dereliction , 

Navigating the authority for a narcissistic fortuity.

The portrait was arenaceous and begrimed with pride, 

The conceited soul perhaps resided in a hide.

The camouflage was never envisaged ,

By the innocent heart trapped in a scrimmage.

The dreams to reach the zenith of success ,

Suddenly in an arbitrary skip fragmented.

Insufficient visibility exposed the camouflage , 

The subtelity of the painter effaced the dupe.

But the vainglory and the chutzpah blossomed in the colours.

How life is so mysterious and poignant ! 

How love and affection of an innocent is stampeded under tyranny !
