Let us see
by Prateek SegalHey!
I am jumping from this cliff.
oh yes, I am.
I am no sad, not depressed.
Oh no, I would not die.
As the cliff ain’t too high.
I just want to try to fly.
Though I hope to break a bone or two.
Only then I would see
that this world is not free.
You see, I was told
I could be anything, I want to be.
I said, I want to be a bird
and fly free.
They laughed
said I am mad.
this world is bound
and that I would fall because of gravity.
Let us see,
If I am wrong,
or this reptile breed.
