As is protected the birdies are by the mother,
From a fuming force of nature,
Keeping them under its wings,
The feeling of Antonio for Bassanio had been similar.
Money, evil for some and bliss for many, started,
The drama both famed and notorious,
The hated Jew had the upper hand,
Lending cash to the needed.
It was the very bond, yes,
That Antonio thought futile,
Since the bringers of fortune,
Kept crawling towards the shore like serpents.
Alas! The evil spirits from the ocean,
Surfaced with a bang,
Favouring Shylock, the ruthless one in his right to cut,
A pound of flesh from Antonio’s human formation.
Like a seraph from the heaven above,
Portia did carry the message of humanity,
And mercy ending up with an assumed ‘poetic justice’,
That many do appreciate and others disapprove of.
Very very nice to read Mr Haque my friend
Very very nice to read Mr Haque my friend.Alas ! there is no Balthazar today (2014) but Shylocks abound demanding pound of flesh.On the rosier side there are friends like Antonio always prepared to help a friend in need. Nonetheless let us make merry "with mirth & laughter let old wrinkles come.." Bhalo thakben
