I, THE BULL, by dinesh raheja Subscribe to rss feed for dinesh raheja

Two diametrically opposite views,
Society and me.
 
Because society says conform, do as others do,
Whereas me, I say, do as you want to, be as you want to.
 
Be a chartered accountant because my grandfather was one
too,
No way, I will be a painter, a poet, a writer because I want
to.
 
May be on your shown path, there is contentment, there is
pleasure,
But it’s your path, not the path I desired,
It is borrowed earth, not the ground I desired.
 
I would have lived by the dictates of my friends, parents,
brother, wife,
If I had more than one life, but I have only one,
let me go, don’t hold by the horn, the bull.
 
If you insist, persist, resist, I will unsuccessfully
compromise,
And that’s not fair … or is it?
