Come Rain Come.

One day while returning home I saw dark brown clotted red spots on the street. Someone shouted, “Hey be careful, Its blood”. I asked, “From Whom?”, Someone replied, “Don’t know but he was with a cow”.

The cow was ok, they said but the old man passed away.

“Oh!”, I said and I also tiptoed away.

After a while, I reached home. Read on my 8-inch screen that someone cracked opened the 16-inch skulls of two young kids — and killed them on spot. Because they had nowhere to go for their natures call. They sat on the road and lost their souls.

But I felt nothing.
I was not sad, nor happy,
nor I felt disgusted.
I said to myself, “Let it be”

The next day, while brushing my teeth
I looked at my old dusty mirror
And asked myself
Am I dead?
Why my heart is cold?
Why my thoughts are grubby
And why my soul is as hard as a rock
“Nah! How can that be true, I am happy”, I said.
Let me get ready for my day
Let me live my life, why unnecessary worry?

On my way to work, I realized.
My body is full of pain
And my face is dark and gloomy
I asked myself,
“Is it the poison from my food?”
I keep ordering it to grub every day
Killing me inside.
Is the poison only killing me or is killing everyone around me?
I have heard a lot of them who grow this food which gives me life
Are taking away their own life? Is it really true?
“Nah! How can that be true, I am healthy”, I said.
Let’s go to the office
Let me live my life, why unnecessary worry?

As I lifted the mug to sip
The fresh brew beans of passion, I saw
My arm has become fragile and my chest sunk inside
And my feet uprooted from the ground.
I stood up with that mug in my hand
I looked at myself to realize. Shit! Who I am.
I can’t pull a rope or chop a block of wood,
Neither I can hunt nor can I run.
I forgot how to walk in the woods,
I forgot how to pluck the fruits
I forgot how to jump in a stream
I forgot how to eat and sleep
I forgot those stories my grandfather told me.
Why? Who took away the I from me and when?
“Nah! How can that be true, I am a Manager of my team”, I said.
Let me sip my coffee
Let me live and lead, why unnecessary worry?

But No!
This time I failed to park my thoughts anywhere
and the coffee tasted bitter than ever
I looked through the window
And I saw the sky
Could not hold me, I wailed.
I shouted, Why the sky is dry?
I want some dark clouds
To pour some heavy rain
I promise I will go to the terrace
and dance and get drenched
to wash away all my pain.

Come rain come
Make me wet, make me wet
Make me soggy and make me a little soft.
Make me feel, make me feel
Make me alive, once more

I want to cry and I want to laugh
I want to live and love
I want to hug and I want to fight
I want to stand with the right

Come rain come
Make me wet, make me wet
Make me soggy and make me a little soft.
Make me feel, make me feel.
Make me alive, once more
