Remember me?
I taught you to excel,
blessed you on the farewell,
now guilty as I watch
societies’ pursuit to quell
a prodigy who tried to rebel.
The neighbor’s broken fence, our casual pretense,
a private joke between good old friends –
humor that in time lost its sense.
To the blues they played sweet love we made,
we didn’t know then soon this music will fade,
four left feet, and so we swayed.
Once too young to protest, then a boy full of zest,
my son is now a man
who learnt to disrespect with due respect.
On a night it poured, a traveler on board,
I asked you the time with a smile you ignored.
9’o clock, you were too bored.
Remember me by.
If you allow, I’ll take my bow,
we will meet again and you will see how,
let our time rest for now.
