PROFIT AND LOSS

0 0 0
                                    

You were entangled
By family then friends
And now by friends and family
No broods but brood

But the teacher cares
Your group members don’t
That you are left
To know all the books

Fixation becomes hatred
Precociousness is affection
Little tricks I learnt
When I was acting

The clay promises I addressed
To the careless potter
Burdened my chest,
So, I lived by the ameeen in the mosque

If my brain could go beyond Prudhomme…
I would go beyond Broadus Browne…
Though the word was with God
How strategies overcome aspirations
