Old Fool
- Kuli Kohli (India)
I
met an old Punjabi man in India,
who
behaved like a crazy king,
he
thought he had the Midas touch,
but
his touch meant not a thing.
He
talked rubbish day and night,
like
filthy old broken records;
he
forced and tormented people
with
his evil eyes like swords.
He
stood over his loved ones
like
a snake ready to strike.
Everyone
had to live under
his
command - a pedal on a bike.
He
beat the kids, screamed at women
and
argued violently with men.
Everyone
waited patiently for his death,
as
he played his awful game over again.
Even
death itself seemed to be afraid
of
the old fool; a vanity of trivia.
But
for now, he still lives like a god,
a
dictator – in the Punjab, India.
