Be proud
Not a loafer or a pauper
But an astute and a sought-after
Is he, who you have made mad of you.
Not a stupid or a morbid one
But sensible and sensuous
Is he, who you have made mad of you.
Not an invalid or an unkempt one
But versatile and subtle
Is he, who you have made mad of you.
Not a downcast or an outcast
But of standing and outstanding
Is he, who you have made mad of you.
Not a womanizer or a philander
But an aesthetic and an admirer
Is he, who you have made mad of you.
None could be madder than he,
And why can’t you be proud
Of him, who you have made mad of you.?
Were you and he singles
Or were both as lass and lad
Who else could either of you seek?
By your power,
The most egoistic
Fell at your feet
As the most stupid.
With your prowess,
Lift him, the stupid,
Up above your feet,
To be the most dignified.
