Bees in our blossom gardens

Shongminthang Haokip *

Now that every eyes on our backyard
As our beautiful blossoms attracts
every bees far and near
Today our daughters are lures for fame
Wannabe models dominates minds and souls
of our young generations

Brand promotion, just photoshoot as they started
Stealthily they lost their sights while
dreaming beyond our ways
They learnt to shrug off; what did I lost!
As yet those outfits in the frame either makes us
pride or disgraceful unimaginably

DM or PM for collaboration! they profiled proudly
Where creepy-crawlies behind find
their ways like a predators
Dress up makeup as nightlife falls
'Blessed!' they captioned selfies while holding
bubbling beers and wines

The music was driving me crazy
And the food was great
as they cheer and dance!
Live, laugh and love- who cares? they smirked
Strangers at first sight they greet as if they have
known for years, sensually

Inevitable is societal changes ahead
Let the western winds blows
freely across hemispheres
From bustling California to Delhi and Mumbai
As long as we steer the directions with
our values and dignity.
