Strange

by Rajender Krishan

Domineering spouse
alibi of breadwinner
mixes different lentils
for mate to segregate

Pocketing all the joys
greedy miser is unsure
anxieties deem life to be
dangerously insecure

Narcissistic scholar
quoting quotable quotes
has no direct experience
clings to what was told

Coward pessimistic quitter
relates to suicidal creed
The brave pause to energize
powering response to succeed

Very true.

The verse is realistic and full of commonsense.
