I AM A KING

I always ask myself who I am

The question does not let me calm

I think I am an Indian

Some body says 'You are a great father’s son'

 

I am an Andhraite by birth

And happy to live on this earth

My mother tongue Telugu makes me a man

The other tongue English makes me a Universal human

 

I know I am a tiny drop in this vast universe

And do not have a big money purse

I have resorted to some immature verse

I know not why to some life becomes a curse

 

I know I am no longer young

I can’t always sing

The tiredness the old age will bring

But I feel as If I were a poetic king

 

One day I will leave this poetic kingdom

Some times I am enveloped with this boredom

No king Lives on this kingdom for ever

But the kingdom is a perennial river
