Fright Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

‘Frightened of me, you say! Why?
I have no intentions to harm you.
You have come to see me at my invitation,
Enjoy your stay with me.'
I held his hands to assure him.
Why would anyone fear me, I wondered.
Blame the words that spread fast perhaps
And the tongues that wag,
Someone must have spoken ill of me.
As the Company's CEO, I had said,
I will not tolerate indiscipline.
It is a statement of fact,
That has scared the mischievous minds.
So be it.
