Radheshyam
ninety years
and hasn't won one transaction.
He has lost each and every dealing
failed business
lost job
broken family
down in everything
smiled upon only in mocking
looked upon only with pity
befriended only to be exploited
poor in maths
always ended up on the wrong side of measurement
fool in love
her woman bore the child of another
unskilled in societal ways
cursed by one and all
and to top it all
he wasn't clever enough to know
why it were so
he wanted to reach out to everyone
but none could reach out to him.
Radheshyam
named after god
but never someone's god
ninety years of being a loser
he doesn't feel.
The stray animals and birds love him much.
He feeds them,
they repay with love.
