Try, you fools!

We try many things,

We try to be rebellious,

We try to prove our worth

Despite elephants reteaching us humanity.

From the bite of an exorbitantly expensive apple

To our acts of foolish rebelliousness today.

The swagger with which we walk

Until we stub our toes on sofa legs

The 'do not spit' signboard becomes a spittoon

A 'Photography prohibited' place becomes a selfie hotspot

The outlaws who park their metallic horses in the 'no parking zone',

Are so cool-

Till they whine as the traffic police seizes their vehicles

We may be the only species,

Who rid our walls of stupid posters

By painting a big 'Stick no bills' on the walls

And we do play slightly serious

Games here and there,

Like missile-missile, international hide and seek

And my favourite- political debates!

I hope aliens
Play their version of musical chairs

And the music stops on earth...
