I
t is a confession more or less
it is a swear on God nevertheless
says a brother to others around
has not cheated his sibling in any round.
Does it not sound meek or a tone down?
I deliberate with a frown.
Why this change of mind so sudden?
is it a the release of the burden?
As I go with such thoughts
remember how they fought
not so much in the younger days
much in their fifties in continuous stays
not face to face as you would assume
in courts beyond any presume
day after day, month after month
their lawyers argued in full mouth
with the compromise arrived
a consent order derived
nothing still executed for long
comes these words not very strong
a swear on the almighty
with no real faith entirely.
