Life Is A Play Poem by Akhtar Jawad

I was too,
Just like you,
Used to say,
My life is a play,
In no way bound,
Just playing in the ground,
Badminton, Cricket, Hockey as well,
Long live my games, rest in hell,
Chasing sweet girls on my bike,
One may like me or dislike,
Whistling, hooting during a match,
Jumping monkey, on a good catch.

Being old man now,
I'm gentle like a cow,
Sobers like an owl, sit like a goat,
In a still lake, a slow little boat,
My mistake, I heard a name,
Shakespeare it was, a man of of fame,
Having read the great man, once more say,
Everyone has a role and life is a play.
Had I played, my little role?
Or I should play more, for a goal?
