Poem
My friends are among the stars Clearest of crystals, each of them a pearl, Like drop of dew on the lotus leaf in sunshine: You came into my life, filled it with joys unique And just as suddenly left me and went away. Abandoned me to face the crises of life alone Unaided by the wisecracks, the pranks , the mischief, The unprintable titles you gave to our adversaries! I look for you in the stars, perhaps you are there I am not sure. I ask you why, why did you make me Feel so special and helped me rise above self pity And entertain dreams when we were all just a bunch Of spoiled brats who couldn’t make it to the heights In an atmosphere unfriendly and hostile to all. Why, why did you have to go away and drop out Of the rat race and leave me struggling with angst And fighting misfortune. With you, I felt so secure. None would tear down the sand castles we built Nor remind us we were nuts. You gave us the vision And the opposition always marched past with respect. Like the vainglorious king who was made to wear The ‘precious royal robe’ that none but he could see. But the Truthful children found out it was a fraud To shame the tyrant who was a terror to his subjects But an easy victim to the crafty guys who preyed On his craving for fame and made him appear nude To his subjects and humbled him as an imbecile. A joke today says humanityis in three big groups The cheats, the vainglorious and the donothings. Is it true and if so the world moves on the idlers, Cracks jokes at them and says they are unfortunate! We made life worth living. And we lived like real kings Fought to preserve our piece of earth, our self esteem. I should be grateful to have lived so long But I feel the pain of separation: the longing For the past that is, without mercy, gone. Maybe you’re lucky, you left and got the best seats. I may linger some more and try some more and keep Wishing you were here with me and assure me the end is not yet, That before the day is gone a golden chariot come And bear me to empyrean heights never seen before; I pray for you that is all I do for the help You gave me. Enjoy the peace in the best of heavens, You’re the real Stars of my life, I’ll never be far or away from you. I shall always love you and honor you, Friendship is for ever, life immaterial.
