But amid some women holding sarees, you executed my birth
My childhood need was ‘real toys’, like an aeroplane that
can fly
Not that plastic man who on inclinations closes and opens
eye
I wished a driver of my dad’s car would take me daily to
school
Not that bus with crowds of children and mixed smell of the
pool
Joke no more, God, poke no more
Give a goddamn life
Please, soak no more
I desired to be a bold playboy, who does with one or two or
many
And not the king of silent lovers, whose love never gave a
penny
I craved for marks enough to be seemed as I’m academically
good
But it was always the bottom of the list where I shamelessly
stood
I dreamt of an air conditioned cabin where I could peacefully
work
You gave me a single window and made me a government clerk
Joke no more, God, poke no more
Give a goddamn life
Please, soak no more
I thought I would have a wife, a wife with a perfect zero
figure
And you delivered a big heavy gun, with quite a loose
trigger
All those dimes I spent on you, all those time I devoted in
prayer
My dreams coming true is still a sight, a sight that is
awfully rare
Now all I need is a platform, higher enough to take me to
the fore
In front of friends, Romans and countrymen, where I could
roar
Joke no more, God, poke no more
Give a Goddamn life
Please, soak no more
