Coercion or Change
If change is too extreme it will not last.
Coercion bears no trust to forge a deal.
Movement behooves concessions with the past.
If change is too extreme it will not last.
Brutal shifts arouse a stubbornness aghast.
Forfeiting our foundations makes us reel.
If change is too extreme it will not last.
Coercion bears no trust to forge a deal.

Exploring the World of Fiction
reflections, ponderings, daydreams, musings
A blog to inspire the insecure writer in all of us
The musings of a curious mind
Oh, the twisted stories to come.
Since so many other online writers have blogs dedicated to their writings, I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon. All posts published here will be either fiction or poetry, some new, and some previously published on various places on the Internet. Some of my works are conventional, and some are quirky. All fiction posted here, except for fan fiction, will include the letters "rose" somewhere, as a tribute to my Baba.
Ups and down everyday, let us make dailyliving normal.
Or not, depending on my mood
