Love | Ashish Mathew Mammen

“When you need something, it runs far away.
But when you are content with what you have, the world just fucks the day.”
Haven’t you had this gut feeling when all good happens, that you are sure to get an equal “fuck up” ?
Well, this starts with the Intro scene of any Indian soap, the protagonist is a lazy bum and his
over-protective dad who would never let him grow up from his box, but still complain about the same.
Sad this kid who has no clue what to say, when his dad asks whether a job was on its way.
If not kiddo, today and forevermore you can stay, close to your home and far from all vain.
But he loves the vain, that is his second name.
What else could he do to disdain?
Stupid this kid, send his plane
flew from his shitty college to a land of fame
of all the planes She chose his name
Stupid of all the planes
set forth to this land with no aim
he knew this was too much happy to gain
all what he got would drain
Stupid kid with his stupid plane
fall for this purple quail
weird was she and her way
prophecy did she fulfill that day
gave him all the love
lured him to the cave
tore him into pieces
and let him rot in pain
Stupid was he to think all stay.
