The Beauty and Beast

An Indian Ode to Epic Greek Tragedy

Your power has been questioned by authorities you look up to

Your hope has been raped by the gods you pray to

Your heart was turned into a tragic stone like your gaze is cursed upon to.

Now you are...

a poisonous heart that was once caring.

a plague of eyes that was once hopeful.

a tragic myth that mortals feel apologetic to sing

a fearful monster that immortals feel proud to cuss

a seeker of light in the cave of darkness

a granted slave for other's conquest

But you will not stop being...

a beautiful creature who was breathtaking in every sense.

Your vulnerable screams will discover the warmth in our flawed hearts

Your invisible tears will be the toxin in your hissing curled dreadlocks

A Beauty

and

A Beast

in

ONE.
