The days I have lived
should it be fair enough to say
the years I have lived
that sounds good considering my age
have been spent on nothing I feel
having lived like a tree or plant
No! that would not be a befitting comparison
as they have given shade and yield
I have been through with no initiative
just eating and sleeping all through
doing nothing serious and practical
can I ascribe my existence to a stone?
Oh! that would not be a proper equation
as a stone has stood the test of times
remaining patient for centuries together
but I am worthless than a stone greatly
Well, did you say only now you have 
come to know
with a jeer and a smile in recognising my inability
Well, that mockery is not without relevance
as I had been all through irrelevant.
