Poetry

1. THOROUGHLY UNEMPLOYED
Everyday I stared at the azure sky for long hours; admiring the fiery rays of the
Sun in the morning; basking in the glory of the celestial blanket of stars well past
after midnight,
While the other human of my kind; meticulously brushed their teeth with
stringent toothpaste every morning; exited for monotonous office at the
tick of sharp 9.
Everyday I sat on the sordid wall chewing tangy gum and tantalizing chocolate;
executing an armory of flirtatious smiles at every ravishing damsel in the
neighborhood who passed by,
While the other human of my kind; buried his face under a sheaf of bulky
papers; listened patiently to the fleet of blatant abuse from his employer with
silent remorse.
Everyday I literally counted the number of cars traversing the streets from my
divine balcony railing; drunk rum with uninhibited glee profoundly engrossed
in a voluptuously titillating fantasy of my own,
While the other human of my kind; incessantly engaged himself in apple
polishing; ensuring that the company's profits augmented by leaps and bounds
at the cost of his own life.
Everyday I rolled in green grass under the robust afternoon; gallivanted on
horses through the meadows; devouring any morsel of food which was
congenially offered to me by the farmers,
While the other human of my kind; evolved ingenious policies on the computer;
wasted hours of time in sorting his meal with silver forks; and in the end
didn’t relish the slightest.
Everyday I slept till the time I wanted; waking up blissfully as the serene evening
descended; leaping acrobatically with the wind as the enchanting night took a
vicious stranglehold,
While the other human of my kind; started his preparations well before dawn
had unveiled; hardly slept a single wink in the darkness; indefatigably worrying
about his performance; and the evading salary cheques which were his only
source to please his wife.
Everyday I counted boundless numbers of sheep philandering nimbly on the
hills; danced in ecstatic jubilation as the peacock came from behind the trees
after exotic rain,
While the other human of my kind; inexorably cribbed about his destiny; the
impoverished state he was in; as his boss didn’t consider him to be with the
contemporary times.

2. Everyday I went on learning and imbibing the language which I wanted;
eccentrically penning down infinite lines of poetry the instants my mind
commanded,
While the other human of my kind; peered through the keyhole of his boss's
cabin; praying to God that his chance to enter inside came faster than the
speed of white light.
Everyday I cried uncontrollably; screamed in sheer hysteria whenever my heart
felt asphyxiated; had an insatiable urge to pour its imprisoned agony out,
While the other human of my kind; conversed in overwhelmingly soft whispers;
used the heaviest slang possible to make his bombastic presence felt amongst
the spurious crowd.
Everyday I walked barefoot; with at times torn rags engulfing my body and a
necklace of spooky crabs enveloping my neck; whistling raucously in the air as
I marched gallantly without caring two hoods for the sanctimonious society,
While the other human of my kind; found himself deluged with an unending
reservoir of tensions each unveiling hour of the day; craved miserably for an
opportunity to cling to the swanky mike; get his aching hands on the steering
wheel of that status Mercedes.
And I went where I wanted; talked what I wanted; did what I wanted with gay
abandon as I was thoroughly unemployed; treating each day as a fabulous
Sunday although it was the peak of monstrous activity time,
While the other human of my kind; perhaps had tons of more money than I did;
perhaps had insurmountable amount of pride in the society more than what I
could have ever perceived; but didn’t enjoy even a single minute as the
unsurpassable years crept by; infact it was profoundly sad to state that the last
day of his life was his one and only Sunday
