The Ultimate Game
The Creator asks to
the adventurous soul
Who returned to heaven
with a thrill seeking bowl.
The Creator asks:
“Did you enjoyed the game
of your staged abduction,
Which was done at non-
descript railway junction.
For that you merrily
bought the ‘Kidnap Package’,
And for few hours they
stuffed you in a cage.”
The Soul replies:
“Yes the fake game
was loaded with fun
But I want a real
not a virtual one.”
“Boring was the king’s
role I played
Outwardly men praised,
inwardly they flayed.
Cadger’s role, was same
Begging is a monotonous game.
As Casanova I chased girls
And saint’s life was dull.
“Now give me something new
An event that is bolt from blue
And challenged my dormant sinews.”
The Creator says:
So be it
But then you’ll writhe in pain
Look at the heaven in vain
Will call me names
Call your existence a bane
Do you still want that deal
The deal wrapped with thrill
in which you’ll cry and squeal.
The soul replies:
So what if the plan is botch up
And my body has to suffer much
I know you’ll gift me a new mortal coil
And again send me on earthly soil
I’ll again play and toil
Till adrenaline causes my blood to boil.
Somewhere in background
Angels sing in sweetish sound:
'Seek and you shall find,
Ask and you shall receive.'
