Spider's Web

She spun a web around her

Thick and strong to support forever

Little did she know that she is curbing her freedom

It is now too late to realize, a vain of the wisdom!!

She gave her everything to the web

Unaware of the liberty beginning to ebb

She toiled day and night to reach the expectations

It had to be prim and proper up to the fractions

She was cheered and praised

Everybody was just dazed

For the pattern was so inviting and intricate

None had the imagination nor could imitate

She enjoyed the attention

It was well deserved appreciation

She tried to step out of the web, tried to wean away

But it enveloped her back, there started her doomsday

The more she fought

The more she was caught

She tried her best, moved her limbs in frenzy

It was in vain, for it only drained out the energy

The others just stood around

Watching her get drowned

Neither stretched a limb nor threw a leaf

It then hit her, that their respect was brief

 

Struggling till the last minute

Wondering why she spun it

It was for the others, she realized at last breath

The others were unfazed, just stared as she hugged her death

Culture or Future??

Days have passed and nights dissolved

The fight continues, neither of them absolved

Question is age-old, yet remains unsolved

Between bonds and emotions it has evolved

Let me introduce you to the inseparable opponents

He is filled with wisdom, the wise and wary Mr. Culture

He is ripened with techniques while she is brimmed with talents

She has a flair to cross lines, always dreaming and daring Ms.Future

They had always walked together hand in hand

Until one day, horizons opened up new and grand

Do not walk to it, was the wise man’s command

They are zones unexplored, will always remain banned

It was not in her persona to doubt and deny

Virgin zones coz they were yet unexplained

She itched to fly and unravel the mystery

And the desire in her was deep ingrained

She tried to convince him that times have changed

The land is open now; it is safe and is also craved

His resolute remained strong, he was outraged

I always follow what is preached, I dare not be chafed

That was how the thoughts clashed and war brewed

Will somebody tell them, they are two sides of a coin?

Will they ever realize, that there is no end to this feud

Enlighten them; they can always respect each other’s opinion

I always wonder, where do we stand between them?

Would you go with the seed or remain with the stem?
