A POEM ON HUMAN CONSCIENCE

NOT TO BE!!!



I sat at the window sill,

Thinking about tomorrow’s work at the mill.

I wondered how wonderful it would be,

To be a person, anyone but me.


I wondered how it would be;

To sell Mangoes and Chilli powder at the Sea…

‘Ah yes’ said the demon in my mind.

Sprinkle the powder with drugs behind.

Let the innocent people of human face

the consequences of the evil human race.


Oh no no no, said the little fairy.

How can a devil live in a little angel?


I understood the moral of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

That a person is not one, but truly two inside.

Oh God! Thanks a lot,

For making me not to be a Not to be
