When I Grow Up Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I want to build a castle for the dream I create
to have all the luxuries fit for an emperor i
and to have no mistake
the carpet i walk upon must be stainless bright red
so no insects must make way
to have their say until i can see them all dead

I want to journey into the sky and to look down upon earth
that every living thing must lift up their heads
to fulfill my purpose of birth
no weapon must match my strength
with my ability to fight
I do not want to believe that anyone
can prove me wrong when i am always right

I will not listen to any other belief for I command
an intelligence as valuable as gold
I will not let anyone defeat me in battle
for the mind i possess cannot become old
every mountain shall have a flag
planted in my honor to carry my name
I must go down in history as a legend
who hold the mystery to this game

I must be like the waves in the ocean
fearless of the sand before the shore
the knowledge I seek must allow me to command
wherever I go from door to door
all the treasure I attain must give me
no difficulty to find
I must owe no one any favor
for all I dream of is mine.
