EASY

~EASY~

When I was young and feeble
When I was mild and meek
Everybody liked me
They loved me.
Even those who were against my arrival smiled
As I smiled with ignorance
They kissed me
Everybody loved kissing me
Everybody
Loved my company because I brought
Them some sort of unimaginable happiness.

Every mouth kissed me
Both stinking and sweet scented mouths
Due to cosmetics.
Bad breathe people and fresh breath people
Showered saliva on me.
Girls seduced me, most played with my toy.
When I was weak and helpless
Oh!
How I have suffered due to
How people mishandled me in the name of love.

But now I am old and strong
Nobody wants me near, nobody wants to give even a hug.
Everybody has shunned me
All those who hailed me when I was ignorant and naive
Have rejected me, for then I was pretty and handsome
When I was a baby –But now I’m ugly.
They say, so nobody wants to give me a kiss

Men like new things-I have seen
But rejects it when old-I felt life would be easy
So I smiled always-not knowing those who
Tickled me to laughter would one day
Tickle me with their words and let my eyes laugh out loud
By calling me a messed up-
Forgetting some days past they raised me up.
This world is not easy as we see it in childhood
Those who raised you to laughter
Are the same to raise your emotions up into tears
Men love new things, but abandons them when old.
