Vows and promises made along
inflict a constraint all along.
Vows are made in the face of challenges
that exceed at times beyond the ranges.
Promises sworn in times of emergency
lay a refrain in days of urgency.
Vow to do a deed is a no mean achievement
leading to a pronounced denouement.
Promises of merit are to kept at any cost
as otherwise they seem a meaningless slot.
Both are dead easy to confirm and construct
as long as they remain a mere wordy instruct.
Vows take the cue from anger and pain.
At times they proceed to a bloody slain.
Promises are born out of will and necessity.
Most times they rob life out of immunity.
Vows and promises should not come down as rain.
They are to be proposed with out vain.

Vows and promises these days seem to grow from political necessity rather than true commitment or a willingness to change a given problem situation.
