EXCUSE

EXCUSE

What a miraculous man-made cutout is “Excuse”!
Whenever we want, we can effortlelssly use.
Wherever we do want, we can soundly misuse,
What a good, obedient, helpful device for our use!

It is a cunning creation of the mean, selfish, base man.
To the honest, noble and saintly minority, it is unknown.
In the fields of the former it is always meticulously sown.
With its very ugly name the latter fire, swear and groan.

It’s now adulterated with the blood of the masses,
Very few are really spared from its vicious embraces.
All are adroit and adept at its efficacious, effectual use,
Who is there left untouched to this charismatic “Fuse’?

Most of us think its output is massive and huge,
Ah! Its input is so nominal that it needs not to use.
What an automatic, booned, bounteous device!
So what, if it is used at the cost of moral price?

But, how long can we use clandenstinely it?
During the total ‘Blackouts’ where will we fit?
So, now is the time apt, appropriate and meet,
To quit it and a blissful Emancipation greet.

N.B: Here, meet means appropriate.
