You ruptured my tire and my desire
You threw beckons and heavens at others
I could only envy so many a plenty
I trudge forwards choking on your words
Oblivious of the ditch that lies in my pitch
The lemons you threw in my avenue
Saved me a stellate a bullet and a pellet
I never knew how a new bad fortune
Could ever save me from a worse misfortune

When I was coming here
The gates of earth demanded
What my quest on the globe would be
I wanted to go and see sunshine
To perceive the thrills of happiness
To discern the joys of living
To trade and earn the whole earth
To choose all my battles
And say a million hellos
But the gates of earth were fastened
Sending me back to the threshing pool
Deeming my unreadiness for life
Back I went pleading
To see the gloomy as well as the sunny days
To feel the pains as much as the pleasures
To bear the losses along with the gains
To say goodbyes as much as hellos
To fail as often as necessary
Only then were the gates unbolted
I was ready to do my time
For life is bound to happen
Someday, sometime or somewhere
As it does to all men

The queen wants to have you
But you are mine and we are miners
She wants to serve you oats
But you delight in virgin honey
Her minstrels could play the famous flutes
But the talking drums rock moving melody
She wants to pour some lavender and powder
You are spiced with nectar and shea butter
To give you a face-lift and some make-up
But you are adorned with pride and purpose
Her rolls of blanket are cute and cozy
You are warm in straps of sheep’s fleece
Her castle is fortified with mortar and men
Your bamboo house is warm and loving
She has a multitude of nightingales
The caring arms of folks embrace you
She has a fleet of Rolls-Royce
Your horses are ready to render and race
She wants to shield you from the rainfall
We love to see your dance steps in the rain
She wants to make you a star in glitz
But you are bright and rare as can be
The queen wants to have you
But you are mine and we are miners
She wants you to have
A greener pasture
And lots of tons of more
But you are happy
Right here
But you are happy
Right now
