Hypnotic Prayers Poem by Louis Santhana

(read this poem little loudly & discover its unique rhyme)


I have not loved a Helen of Troy
to wage a war on a huge wooden toy

I have not loved a Rani of Jhansi
to line up in a battle to win her fancy

I have not loved a Phoolan Devi Bai
to train my guns to keep her enjoy

I have not loved a Sharmila Tagore
to spend a few lakhs for a bubble in a shore

I have not loved a Ishwarya Rai
for I am not the only son of a Sheikh Dubai

I am in love with you, a very common girl
working in railways as a reservation clerk

if you say NO to my simple, true heart
there is no meaning for LOVE of any sort......
