Lateral Man verses the Collateral Man

Lateral Man verses the Collateral Man

Collateral man says:

Collateral damage,

We get critised about.

The most.

 

Dews of sweat gathering upon the forehead

Of  the lateral man

 like crystal salt.

.

The last war, we waged upon

The innocent folks

All the damage.

That came with it was collateral damage!

Doesn't the old man know of this?

Thinks the lateral man.

People's homes and limbs 

Blown to pieces!

He feels a fire ball of rage in his throat

It will suffocate  him, 

To death, 

if left unexploded.

 

So differential calculus?

How much do you know of it?

The old man asks deliberating each words.

Differential calculus, the most sophisticated 

Piece of Maths:

Integration and differentiation in perfect

Harmony.

As if in a transcendental symphony 

Is used for weapons of mass destruction.

And that's the biggest tragedy.

The devastating irony.

 

 

The lateral man knows all too well

About differential calculus.

He is the sleakest operator in

All aspects.

Has a doctorate 

In it.

 

That he doesn't say to the high ranking

Manager of weapons of mass destructions.

 

He rises on his feet 

And spits on the old man's face.

That is for the innocent folks

You slewed 

He says.

And leaves.

Cursing the agent

For sending him for the wrong 

Interview.
