They chased me and caught me alive after a flip, <br />They defined me and entitled me though I had never wanted <br />They then carved a crown out of my own flesh <br />And gently and precisely put it on my small head made of strange mud <br /> <br />They said I deserved it as I belonged to this place, <br />As among the humans the chunk of the organisms infinite I lived. <br /> <br />Not too audible nor too clear in a tone <br />They declared that I was, and must be a part of the insanely sane demigods! <br />Be calm! , be patient! and be smiling! they told me, <br />I'd had to walk through the corridors, they added! <br /> <br />All these words they injected into the veins of my brain <br />And cautiously they set me to walk on the corridors of life. <br /> <br />Time flew and clouds rained as if they had never done so before! <br />It must have been a deviation from science, or a crippled miracle <br />When their experiment flashed the wrong symptoms on me. <br />It's not but a trophy that I have ever been headed for. <br /> <br />Not this time or next that I will enter the portals of fame. <br />I am just a creature without the black and white agony. <br />I will blend colors and will write on the walls <br />My words will break those walls for once, that is all. <br /> <br />This creature has been offered a crown to wear <br />And he will wear it for a season and swim in the oceans blue. <br />The waves of the seas will swallow me and then send down to the abyss <br />Soon I will fail to take a flight with no Gods still rejoicing. <br /> <br />There is no return to the ape in ecstasy <br />And I am doomed to perish in this subcontinent.<br /><br />M.D Dinesh Nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-crown-thurst-upon/
