Jailor And Jailbird

Rating: 5.0


Jailbird and Jailor

brainwashed, kidnapped, jailed
every, escape bid failed

weeks, months, years roll
Stockholm syndrome takes its toll

jailor, a fugitive
jailbird's help is pro-active

the two live in isolation
hidden from civilization

commit crimes to sustain
with no plans to refrain

no exit plan from the perilous slope
the downward path offers no hope

until, one day, when age catches up
when the muscles can't cope,
the two are caught
and, to justice, they are brought

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Jailor is the brigand, a criminal, fugitive who lives in jungles and commits heinous crimes to sustain. Jailbird is one of those victims of kidnappings by the brigand. He remains with the jailor andof Stockholm syndrome takes over.Both are now committing crimes and both are fugitives. This is a little like the notorious Veerappan -who was shot dead in an encounter.

It is sad that both perish with no scope of redemption and finally end up as wrecks before being brought to justice! A great write!
