Today morning hell broke loose
Adroit hands failed to hit the snooze
I ended up getting at five
Forced to see this time of life
Lazy community, Please don’t blame me
Nokia’s alarming conspiracy to frame me
A culture shock,that it was for me
Bamboozled,I tried to make sense
Half an hour I looked at wall
Another half at fan and fence
How did I lose my ‘snooze’ defence
Pinched n confirmed it’s not a dream
Watchman will beat me if i scream
Like a zombie, dragged myself
Salt to injury, no water on the shelf
Cursed science for not inventing dry water
Contemplated wakin up neighbors for barter
Little soul, issues galore. Thinking cap started blinking
Oh yeah right. Time for some lateral thinking
With great expectations, opened facebook
No button for ‘Daily Needs’. Zuck you crook.
Went to twitter. ‘Need water’ was the tweet
‘WeNeedPeace’ a reply. Losers never sleep??
Enough is enough. It has to end.
Time to call Rahul…my best friend.
A friend to be there, forever. Feels so nice
After thirty calls he picked up n shouted “who died”
Got up early n no water to drink, I almost cried
Fool yourself for two hours. Why you crying
Say “All Is Well” , Your mouth will stop drying
Before I could say something, line cut off
God ,better gimme enemies, I started to sob
Remembered of marwadi’s shop who marks up prices
Time to wake him up, I m a godsent, punishment for his vices
May be if I m lucky, I will see his daughter
Day dreaming, I almost forgot about the water
I will invite her for a cup of tea
Rest of life water supply is free
Door opened, cant tell you what happened there after
I remember me saying, “I am thirsty, where is your daughter”
Who’s who of marwadi family was there asking who am i
Darkness saved me otherwise I was surely set to die
I ran as fast I could, without waiting for a moment
Surprised many street dogs with my racing talent
(Yet another incomplete piece... :-( )
