GUESS WHO ?A Poem by Mahesh Chand SharmaThe poem is about an unknown individual who is searching for his/its identity and worth in this unreal world.He was born with a cane, Passed in a narrow lane! The days were his own, Didn’t have anything to don! Didn’t have much to say, Got nothing to play
but the clay! Had no one to call his own, As he had born alone! Recollecting his mystic days, He had missed the little phrase! God made the country, man made the town, he tore His gown that made his life
brown! There was nothing to eat, There was
nothing to quit! There was
nothing to wear, There was
nothing to tear! Always
hovered around a house, To eat his
fill so as to drowse! It was
nothing but a slaughter house, Sneaking
there something to browse! The life
was too long to pass, It was
never guilded on a brass! He was born
on a path, He was
grown on the footpath! He wasn’t
born with a bang, He wasn’t
grown with a gang! He was born
in a hurry, He was gone
in a scurry! He still
whirls around a question, Tries to
seek the answer in a fraction! What was
the purpose of his birth???? When he
wasn’t supposed to fill the human dearth! Take time
and something to chew, No one is
going to give you the clue! Don’t ever
try to make it a mess, I just want
you to give it a guess! © 2010 Mahesh Chand SharmaAuthor's Note
