Of Angels and Demons!

by Dr. Varanasi Ramabrahmam

Angels live in heaven
And the demons in the nether world
But peculiarly they are made to live together
Unable to bear each other and feeling exploited;
The species of the Homo sapiens is
Difficult to be comprehended, still complex
Are the workings of their minds;
They seem neither animals nor enlightened.

The female species has been bearing all the brunt,
The insensitive, selfish and high-handed exploitation
Of the male species;
Now many in the fair sex are liberated
Vow not to have a spouse who feels superior and demanding
Instead just a mate or companion;
Live in own economic security
And be independent;
Never to sub-serve but only be equal always

But many do not know that
All women are not angels
And all men are not demons;
And they must live together for mutual emotional fulfillment
And healthy upbringing of the off-spring;
Only by sharing love, affection, understanding,
Commitment, responsibility, comradeship, sacrifice and compromise
Long live Homosapiens in harmony, peace and bliss!
