Street Dancers Poem by M. Asim Nehal

I am happy
I don’t care
What others have to say
I wish to dance
On the streets
And that is my freedom
A freedom of expression
Guaranteed by the constitution
I don’t care if that concerns anybody
Ongoing exams of schools
Or a sick person struggling for life
They all exercised their rights
Now it’s my turn
To switch on the loud speakers
Block the streets
Call my friends to accompany me
For the street dance
I want to make it memorable
A grand show, a trend setter
An extravaganza to show off my happiness
Why are you worried?
For the diversion of road or the sound?
Or the dance which you can’t do
At your age and with your illness and sickness
So stop complaining and enjoy
Did you ever ask the politicians
When they take processions
Why they block the roads?
Today is my turn and I will do it
These streets are meant for the show offs
Don’t you see every day one of the streets do
Have extravaganza or road block
For one or the other reason
So learn my dear, to live with it
Learn to enjoy the street dance
No matter whom you are,
No matter what you are going through
Just dance with the street dancers.
