Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by Deepak Vohra 
(Godot pronounced as Godo) 

We are common people. 
We always wait for Godot in every age.
We know very well :
You never came,
You never come, 
You will never come.
Still we all wait for you.

But we never yield.
We never lose heart.
We never admit defeat.

We have heard since our childhood:
From our parents,
Our parents from their parents,
Their parents from their forefathers,
You\'ll come one day or the other day! 

We have heard since our childhood
In the 21st century everything would be changed. 
No hatred,  no jealousy, no discrimination,  no caste,  no creed, no colour! 
There would be no place for walls.
There would be no room for boundaries created by fanatic politicians. 

Whenever you come, 
We would get everything as we wish. 
Bread for hungry!
Water for thirsty!
Clothes for ill-clad!
Home for homeless!
Employment for every hand! 
Many many things 
Which can\'t be discussed in a short poem! 

But nothing is changed.

O Godot! You have not come yet, 
But Modo has come.
Bastard sons of Hitler are his staunch followers.
Media is his great tool for popularity.
They are always showing him as Godot.
They are always spreading hatred on the name of religion. 

O Godot!  We all know,
You will never come
Still we all wait for you

Because possibilities never die.
