Can You Be You! ! ! Poem by C. P. Sharma

Be you,
But do you know,
Who are you?
You try to be civilized
You hide you
Dress as a lady
Look new
On dinner table
Imitate manners
Eat Chinese food
Drink R. O. water
On pointed shoes
Topple and tumble
Many a time stumble
Where are emotions
In office or at home
On road or abroad
You follow a code
A painted face
You ever wear
You ever hide
Your wear and tear
In many masks
You ever bask
To be you
A difficult task
For everything
There are standards
Originality squander
Is that you?
In this age of make up
Be you will shake up
