Why You?

Why did God take you,

When you still had so much to work through,

Out of all the nasty people in the world,

Why did he grab YOU to the netherworld,

Rapists, drug addicts, wife beaters, mafia dons,

You were merely a corporate pawn,

Who danced to their every tune,

You ruthlessly abused your mind, body and soul, ever ready to swoon,

To empty promises and ego massages,

Your head was inflated with barrages,

Of admiration and compliments,

God-complex was what you developed as a complement,

Your son and I didn't want an unstoppable God at home,

Or someone who perennially wanted to roam,

We wanted you and only you,

Not your guitars, your houses or the money you grew,

I fell in love with a stinky, unshaven college kid,

Your son simply wanted a father to play daredevil games with, which I tried my best to forbid,

Your bank balance and your fancy degrees,

Didn't make your son or me go weak in the knees, 

All we ever wanted was your time,

We were least interested in watching you maniacally climb,

Through a corporate machinery,

That made you so unkind and unseemly,

You snapped at everyone,

Including your almost 3 year old son,

For that I'll never forgive you,

You got so caught up in your own self-made selfish brew,

I'm not so large hearted,

To move on quickly from the crude manner in which you parted.
