Love, Life, Reality -- Poems of my Adventure

Revolt

I maybe under

Your jurisdiction for now

But someday, I'll be:

        A singer;

        A rock star;

        A painter;

        An artist;

        A pilot;

        A novelist;

        A poet;

        A writer.

Someday, I will be:

         Rich.

         Famous.

         Fabulous.

Someday, I will be

Standing at the stage

At my own concert;

I will be singing

And rocking and the people

sings with me;

I'll be awarded and

flattered for my beautiful

Impressionist painting;

I'll be at the stage crying

and acting.

I'll fly and reach the

skies as a pilot.

Someday, maybe this

Poem or the other one

or any of my written

works

would be published:

By mouth or in paper --

And with those, I'll be

earning a lot:

Money. Praises. Honors.

Someday, I'll not be

Oppressed by anyone.

When that happens,

You wouldn't even

be able to recognize me.

And that someday

Is Now.
