Ways Of Looking At My Brother
Anushri is a v quiet soft spoken creative teenager. Didn't know there was so much creativity bubbling inside her till I looked at her poems. Her different feelings towards her brother are so real - and the metaphors she uses for him - and the overriding feeling of affection beneath all the irritation a little brother or sister can generate!
Ways Of Looking At My Brother
Anirudh is a devil with horns.
But when I look at him, I see an angel with a halo.
He is a naughty demon,
who brings a curse upon the earth
I eye an obedient and pure morTal, a blessing bestowed upon me.
When I see my brother, I feel like I am looking at A part of my mother Another form of God.
When I see my brother, I know I am looking at A part of the Ravan of Lanka Who craved power over all.
So then, Should he be destroyed? Or should he be protected?
