Not Wanted--Dead or Alive!

Mohanram.K

When alive you all criticize me.

When dead you’ll do the same

As if I only am faulty.

“You need at least four people!

You have to be carried or driven to your Destination”.

You say. No. I don’t need them, or you!

When dead I’ll start stinking more than I do now.

The stench will make them carry me—

My neighbours, corporation or somebody

Will get rid of the nuisance.

Or stray dogs will take care of me.

And honestly thank me too!

No body wants anyone—

Either dead or alive.

I don’t need you, or any one

Just as you say to me!
