S Ravichandran Ayyer Poet Free verse

I Am For Sale

I am for sale

I am for sale to overcome my problems
the price for me is not so huge 
Just a little bit more than you think

I am very eager to know my master
Who ever may be 
He is my master and he is my rescuer 

Every penny from that price is precious
I am at the gates of my house 
expecting my magnanimous boss

My wisdom and soul are his own properties
My fame and credits are his own credits
I want my new boss to buy me and
to get rid off from this worst hell

Twenty or thirty is not so huge 
it may be Dollors or Euros
I am My self selling 
As a wonder of  twenty first century 

Will any 
Kind hearted and generous come forward 
to buy me 
Before the poverty swallows my last piece
