Sledging


From a child to parent,

how much sledging

can a sane mind bear

until it breaks down?

Sledging, done in retaliation

to a parent's disciplining


Worst of times, 

the mind even thinks

if the mud-slinging 

done in disdain

is imagined or real, or

if it's worth the pain


How many cycles

of bend, break and build

do I endure

Until it gets totally insane

And until I say...


Do it to the him! 

Not me!
