☆ The market of life! ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

The world

is a market of life!

New lives

born to sell.

Old lives

destroyed and thrown

away

from the throne.

None knows

the mentality of ones.

Some say

old is gold

some say

new to sold.

Requirement of new

was too much

so they purchased me

fully

when I was new.

Now, 

I am feeling

I have nothing of mine.

Body and soul;

thoughts and mind;

pulse and heart;

each and everything

is of customer

My Master!

My Lord!

My God!

and… his highness!

I’m sold

thus

I’m soldier

… of LIFE!

26th August 1977
