Vanity
I wished to become Tagore - to
Sing your praises in poems.
I wished to become Shakespeare -to
Frame your life in plays.
I wished to become Gandhi - to
Free people from bonds of slavery.
I wished to become an emperor - to
Wield my power all over humanity.
But, Alas!
I did not wish to become
An atom of your glorious cosmos
Which includes everyone of those
I wished to become.
Lord, is it not my vanity
That displays my life's futility?
