I think about my future
'cos I'm afraid of a suture
Which no matter how artistically woven
can still bake the mind like an oven
I think about my future
'cos I believe life is a picture
The painter of which I am
The paint of which I am
The ups and downs there are bemusing
The responsibility in stock is confusing
How can one tackle this mission
Or may be one needs a vision
In the web of hardwork the fingers get trodden
In the confusion the brain gets sodden
I want to live a sweet life
And no wonder, so much strife
Some people say one has to be patient
But the zeal to achieve is the most salient
The time is now, I must surely achieve
This in my innermost mind I believe.
