Kith And Kin

By Archana Ramachandran

They are none but my disfavors.

Many are excellent satirists Who can even defeat swift.

Some are outstanding critics

Who may even repulse Dryden.

Most are perfect free-advicers

Socrates’s philosophies are nothing in front of them.

Much are enthusiastic orators

Whose orations are best over Antony.

More are extremely proud,

If we compare them with Darcy.

So many are greatest dramatists.

Their characters are unknown to Marlowe.

Plenty are finest novelists

Who narrate others’ life finer than Dickens.

Huge are ultimate manipulators.

Even Iago should learn more from them.

Few are amazing actors

Those were not even found in Globe theatre.

Everyone is wise conspirators.

They can give suggestions too,to Brutus.

Sometimes they act like the astrologers

They can predict our future too .

The interesting thing is – If you ask them any help , they will disappear like Ariel.

Beyond all , they think that they are all god’s disciples who instruct everything as if god has said them to do so.

You know something ! You can’t find some characters even if you go through 37 plays of Shakespeare.
