May I

27Apr11

May i put a smear on the sun?
so that i can stop the moon from feeling bad,
about the smears which disgrace his facade…

May i stop the stars from twinkling?
so the kids stop singing their paeans,
and start singing about the twinkle in their mother’s eyes…

May i ban the fair skinned from putting up a display?
so that the dusky beauties can come out of the dark,
and set a trend of making fair the new dark…

May i stop the wombs with girls from getting pierced?
so that the boys dont eat up all the candies,
and the fathers stop shirking their responsibilities…

May i change the way this world has played itself out?
so that the oppressed rub shoulders with the oppressors,
and for a change.. the oppressed are nowhere to be found…

    Nice concept! The tyrant in me says that if you have to ask permission for such things, then the first thing you need to do is to ask permission for asking permissions .. *evil maniacal laughter*
