Scream!!!!!!!!

Her eyes were a deathly still
Her voice, unheard of
Unless it were the screams
When she saw little children
Little innocent babies they were
But she shrieked aloud - a banshee
Until you were deaf from the noise
They thought her to be insane
A poor loony whom war had made thus



But only she knew the real truth
Oh how she missed her dear baby
And how much she loved her little child
And how vividly she remembered that Night
The loud footsteps, the terrifying gunshots,
The banging on the door, the hiding-pronto,
The murmured whispers, the stifled cry
Of her baby, a little too stifling
And now she always screamed when she saw babies

Too high level a language used,
Took me nearly a day and a half,
To get to the meaning of wat u released,
Thy wordings forced me to reach my shelf.

Now forcing me to doubt,
...about the li'l amount of brains i hav,
still retaining the confidence in me
....an engineer that i am.

Regardin my identity,
Did release out a few clues,
Each line of ur's screwed me up,
So revenge's on the cards.

The maiden's not yet impressed i guess,
so hav to go on wid probably this mess,
n me a person who prefers beatin around the bush,
so....better not get into this particular rush!

Avi Ramu said...

Maybe da maiden aint impressd
but dis lad surely is
so if u can change ur preferences
a gala time it is for us
we cud sing together
or even murder for money
but at the end of the day
youll still want the maiden.
Shill may be her name
but shrill is her voice
and kill do her eyes
so will you stop being weird
and just chill with your name.


Who are you ?

Unknown said...

Shilpa, you are awesome!

Anonymous said...

...awesome was the attempt,
but unwilling to change,
prefer to be a hidden truth,
happy wid it that i am.

shil might be the name,
n being 'shrill' is for u,
for me its an ol' friend,
a very 'hi' makes me thrill.

can i know ur original name,
now dat u die hard for fame,
leave me alone,
n...jus be gone.
