Monkey Business

Writer's Ezine Anniversary Issue- April 2015

HE was always larger than life for her.
HE was the one she could remember.
She loved HIM passionately since inception.
Complete surrender & faith; no question.

She wrote letters to HIM every time,
Creatively expressing in prose/rhyme,
When life sprung up marvels or surprises,
When she earned brickbats or won prizes.

Those letters she didn't know where to post.
No idea about the address of her dost!
As many homes were HIS abode,
Which path to travel, the right road?

She was wondering about HIM that morn,
Philosophically thinking why she was born.
A group of monkeys appeared out of nowhere.
They started screeching with crazy antics there.

                  

From her home's comfort, she marvelled evolution.
Outside her room, she heard a loud commotion.
Then, she saw a baby monkey had got entangled,
The electric wire had made its body mangled.

The monkeys looked jittery & had no clue.
They started beseeching for answers what to do.
Some of them seemed to implore clear & loud-
"Can you help us save our child, dear crowd?"

She started crying seeing the emotional sight.
She felt so shocked & helpless at the sorry plight.
To set things right, she hadn't any magic wand.
She invoked HIM to join in & lend a helping-hand.

While the onlookers maintained a safe-distance,
And the monkeys tried to bridge the gap that instance,
Just then, one person threw a stone at the simians;
More people too stoned feeling it was self-defense.

The monkeys cried and their group exhibited violence.
They started attacking people, having lost their sense.
The police had to come in to disperse the mob & anger,
The last monkey to be evicted was the dejected mother.

She was very heartbroken to witness this event- a curse.
She questioned why & how HE watched bad getting worse?
Then, the worst happens surely because HE wills?
How can HE allow such events that send down chills?

She wrote letters expressing what she wanted to say. 
Why HE created when HE had to destroy this way?
She wants her unsent letters to be published & to reach HIM soon.
When HE reads & changes HIS monkey business- that'll be a boon...


Note- HIM, HE & HIS - refer to GOD...
