A Comedy

====A Comedy====

Cheer up folks!

This is,

A Comedy!

 

So, once there was a man,

No, not black,

 or Asian,

or Irish,

  or British,

    or American,

   or anything.

Come on people,

This ain’t no joke.

This is but,

A Comedy!

 

So this man,

As a child had questions,

But was asked not to ask,

He was taught to learn, repeat;

And all his whys were answered with why?

Yes in his teens, decisions were forced,

Even his rebellion was conspired.

But eventually he did get it right:

And made money for others with vigour.

Paid taxes for roads, bridges and subways.

And you know what’s funny.

He earned for the dream to fly in jets:

The jets people owned.

The same that the taxes,

on his very same income buy.

Did i not tell you?

This is,

A Comedy.

 

He did whatever was expected.

Yes, he was normal:

He hated his life,

         his wife.

        his job,

          his house.

       himself,

             his everything.

Also was on some medication,

In some or the other depression.

So this man, i hear was but, loyal:

Consumer!

Even his wife.

But just not to each other!

Ha Ha! You see?

This is,

A Comedy!

 

Oh, and  i almost forgot,

He was the dude online!

Conspiracy theorist,

Porn addict,

Cult follower,

Grammar nazi!

Facebook stud.

The proud, nerd gamer.

Yeah! It was only his life that sucked.

What? Which?

Dude pay attention,

Obviously the real one.

Because:

This is,

A Comedy!

 

But one day he became aware:

The bigger plan,

Synchronicity.

He realized:

He was,

In  A Comedy.

So thence,

When his child had question...........

He said why?

Gotcha!

This is,

A Comedy!

 

So, cheer up folks, live!

This is,

A Comedy!

nice write Pushkar, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
But was asked not to ask,

I enjoyed it very much. I learn more everytime I read your work. Thank you very much. What a talent. Will not go through every line: Everything flowed and it is a metaphor in itself; the lesson to be learned; theme is great also - Great writing.
