[From the
author of “Poems by
Kolki- Absolutely Humane” & “Real Path To 9/11”]
I
may not be the sexiest man alive
Although
my parents were happy in pride
Bringing
a son on earth healthy full of life
Making
me presentable, kind, caring with love for divine!
People
tried to equate me with Statesman or Film Star
Imposing
their thoughts during gossip or social talk
As
I succeeded in schools, universities and career
Yet
left me unnoticed when I acted carelessly poor!
So
long my expensive suites looked right
Silk
Tie stylishly placed with golden clip tight
Shoes
were shining polished and bright
Hair
was shaped with shampoo in style
They
came around me with big smiles
Ready
to shake hands or hug a handsome guy!
As
if, handsomeness is embedded in style and class
Expensive
clothes, watch, ring, shoes, lens or glass
While
prettiness is lost within arousing little clothes
High
hills, lip sticks, lockets, rouge and vogue!
