The Hope Whisperer

Beginning with benign humility and obedience
Enthusiastically , Gopal completed his homework.
Gladly, making himself normal
Ghosts of the past, making him miserable.
Analysing the future and now, haunted by the past.
Rectifying silly mistakes, with the most inferior night job.
Streets are lit, and echos of Gopal asking for money are heard.

Churchgate has many Gopals running up and down.
Articulating and collecting pennies by every generosity.
Nurturing the dreams of being a pilot, to fly.
Towering through the grades in school.

Bludgeoning every academic hurdle to death.
Extempore of flying ruminations and avoiding the traffic lights.

Charisma is not bought but fostered from within.
Harrowing details of the impossible
Ornamenting ideas , with periodic collections.
Odd one out, has to be
Shimmering light of hope, Gopal can be to his leftover kin.
Eighteen years old multi-linguistic Gopal, will sit through most prestigious entrance exams.
Righteous feelings, might not need a helping hand, not even from GOD
Staging the fears, with anxiety and courage, Gopal will not give up until he wins.
