THE PEOPLE’S EYE                 

Feeling of great tenderness                   

For the militant tendency                        
Right from a tender age
Tends to save more souls.                           

Never mind
My tendentious note on
The tenacious person’s acts                     
But we need                                                
To take note of
The activists’ acts.                                       

Though, I’m not tentative                           

Because it’s a fact
But I smile tentatively.                                  

I speak with no tension                               
But with the highest tempo                        
Of my humble fat,                                       
I can’t be a tenant
In my tenement.

In fact, I’m on tenterhooks

Because,
My idea is not tenuous,                               
Therefore,                                              
I can’t come to grief.
