Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Hairraising Contra

Is it my karma or fate,
I never lose my head
but lost my hair
       (ha, what a waste!)
very early in life
when I was young,
and you know, 
     not quite complicate.
Now I am bald
so, I wear a toupee, 
           (oh, what a crap!)
Everyone is appalled!
I believe, I'll die unnoticed and unsung
after this's all said and done.

And now; (Guess What?)
New hair grows
from everywhere else...         
                               ...but head!
