The mad women

Balkrishan Sanyasi

Here all are mad
No one is normal
Look at the normal person
he is walking
with the wrong shoe
In the wrong foot

Why do they call me mad?
Why do children tease me?
Iam clad
In rags
I still remember names
Whatever the cause

Why stare at me
In the night?
I spend nights near the shops.
Why do they plan evil?
Why do they call me mad?
Why do they boo boo me?

Iam alright
I remember all…
Even the one
Who has never seen me.
Nothing is amiss.
Am I not beautiful?
I can tell you
What happened
Where and
What will happen

Iam the beauty
Don’t I look so?
Smeared with mud and soot?
What has happened to me?
I told you:

Damn you
You evil

You follow me
When I get down half way
When I don’t go anywhere
And
Choose to stay here
You get angry and say:

This women is glued
to this city.

Where to go?
What to do?
What have I done to you?
You call me mad!
Why do you call me names?
