Be Proud

Not a loafer or a pauper But an astute and a sought-after Is he, who you have made mad of you. Not a stupid or a morbid one But sensible and sensuous Is he, who you have made mad of you. Not an invalid or an unkempt one But versatile and subtle Is he, who you have made mad of you. Not a downcast or an outcast But of standing and outstanding Is he, who you have made mad of you. Not a womanizer or a philander But an aesthetic and an admirer Is he, who you have made mad of you. None could be madder than he, And why can’t you be proud Of him, who you have made mad of you.? Were you and he singles Or were both as lass and lad Who else could either of you seek? By your power, The most egoistic Fell at your feet As the most stupid. With your prowess, Lift him, the stupid, Up above your feet, To be the most dignified. 01.06.99
