Ravi

a poem by Sumita Jagannathan

There is a boy here called Ravi
man.his thoughts are heavy.
He sat and sat and sat all day
and for all this sitting he had nothing to say.
He’s always thinking of serious stuff
I’ve never seen him huff and puff.
He says he is more a robot
If I say no he says “so what.”
Ravi Ravi come alive
swarm in and out like bees in a hive.
Life is so short a play
make it your game and make your day.
Follow your heart and your soul
they’ll take you near your goal
and once your there you will see
that Ravi-robot is not to be
