Change of places ...

Colorful bottles lying all around,
the smell of ether and the musical sounds !!
There he sits on his age old chair,
writing away about the world with utmost care !!

Intermittent smoke rings fill the room,
he knows his time will com very soon !!
Thinking and forgiving all misdeeds,
he drinks his wine and counts his beads !!

He peers through his dreamy eyes at the walls,
he knows he is killing himself beyond all calls !!
He knows that the time will not stall,
and he will leave the room and the hall !!

His ruffled hair and beard are still young,
but the souls grown old and so his liver and lung !!
The rest of his body cries out loud asking him to stop,
but the ciggarettes remain lit and he drinks till the last drop !!

He sleeps with his head on the table,
he continues to breathe in a way that's unstable !!
He dreams of the past and the future and the end,
Satan arrives and asks him for ears to lend !!

He wakes up and listens to his masters call,
he thinks he has come to take him from the four walls !!
He thinks finally he can open his eyes and say,
i am free, i am unbound and i like the day !!

Satan sits down and touches his hand,
says you are too young too join my land !!
You are hurt and disgusted and lonely,
you try and kill yourself to join me daily !!

But the truth my son is that you don't belong in hell,
you are a pure soul and should hear heavens bell !!
I house only rotten beings who killed and hurt others not themselves,
if you want to meet such people earths there, no need to hunt my shelves !!

Satan stood up and touched his head,
he said life is long and you are not dead !!
Do not leave your dreams and your belief,
and try and live in my gory lanes for relief !!

The master went away in the middle of the night,
leaving the old soul with the young ruffled hair with a sight !!
His dreams changed to that of futuristic thought,
he lay back on his bed with the mental peace head had got !!

Next day morning the bottles went away,
the smoke rings did not have another word to say !!
The young soul continued to write at his table,
and his pen wove dreams cause he was more able !!

Satan sat above and gave a hearty smile,
another being i have saved from walking this mile !!
Someday i might change places with the man with the crown,
he might be here and me with his magic gown !!


Dedicated to all the satans in the world who try to make the world a better place to live in by giving good advice to people
