'My Lover is Not a Fascist!' by Shanthalembi
My lover shelters me from the other
He says the other is
Despotic and dogmatic
Obsessed to control me
Seducer, Sexist and a Scorn
A Squid to grab anything he wants!
Took time to unwrap the veil
Of his cajole and coaxes,
Never did his acts touch me
Nor did I feel like embracing him soulfully,
I guess it’s like a party calling the other Fascist,
Making political waves to prove it.
Akin in their designs to win,
My lover is subtle and the other a Fascist,
I long to slay this stifling love
For a more frenzy-meadow,
As they say in politics,
For an alternative Game-Changer!
