This is the time, I put my foot down with no aspirations!: A poem 

Dad, I thought you would come 

like a golden orb, your face incandescent, 

Your eyes like brilliant comets 

Your skin glittering like yellow sapphire dew 

And your sky-like arms stretched out for me 

Reminds me of Noah when he was born 

He was so unearthly, that his father Lamech doubted 

that Noah was his own progeny. 

I don’t believe in the grace of powers 

I lived an eternity fighting for truth and justice;  

forgetting about myself. I don’t want to be paid 

in peanuts for duty to somebody else’s cause! 

I want no such income from any entity! 

I just feel all the hair follicles have fallen from my skin 

working so hard and getting only cruelty in return! 

I can let you all know that I can have 

the meteors fall on your faces to suit your disgraces 

Even the earth to open up like a void and consume you 

Forests will burn into your cities. Don’t compel me! 

Mother nature is waiting for me to command her 

The Universe’s intelligence is wanting me to give it a call! 

There is no measure between distance and ruin at my sound! Beware! 

I just waited for my Dad, like a star catching me laugh 

And Mum to be by my side in a garden’s bevy 

Love is always what you dreamed of it to be! 

I don’t think of the probabilities not being right for me! 

In any case, you all have no right to compel/ preach to me what I should be doing henceforth!
