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!

Brilliant! Loved it :)
Many comedians can relate this. All it takes is a break from it to make it a theatrical!

[Pushkar Prabhat]

Life is a comedy. You Can either laugh or sit and take out flaws. As a child ask questions. Grow up and give the same answers to your kids, what you got from your parents. Comedy, ain't it?
Though I really liked this. Genius work :)

[Pushkar Prabhat]

so glad you enjoyed!!! thanks a lot!!! :) :)

What are actually comedies and tragedies, to someone one thing may look comic to other it may be tragic, it is our way to look at things,
I enjoyed this work, and you have conveyed what you want to
thankyou for sharing

[Pushkar Prabhat]

yes it is all about the perspective!
thank you for reading and appreciating....:) :)

well if given the choice, I choose to laugh about it, rather than let it get me down.. life is full of ups and downs, the things we do and then think afterwards, what the heck?.. those times when we reflect and realize that we have been the fools.. you have shown that well here.. the joke really is on us sometimes.. cute :)

[Pushkar Prabhat]

that should be the attitude!!! thumbs up! thank you so much!! :) :)

First of all the over-all structure of the poem is really grabbing and bears a note of derision ..... It is sarcastic and at the same time tells the truth... Keep it amigo .... Great Write Up ...

It does seem we're trapped in something scripted for some other one's entertainment.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

yup it does seem so.
