Sai
Don’t cry little one, it’s alright.
I’ll never let you out of my sight.
Drink up that shake, like in ads they show.
You know how they say it helps you grow!
Don’t stay out late in the dark you see,
Wee Willy Winki’s on a hunting spree!
Thugs are wicked but the cops are good.
They’re friends with Santa, understood?
This year’s tough, work a little bit more,
Next one shall be a breeze, I’m sure!
And so that you don’t end up a dork,
Let me tell you about bees and storks!
Now I’ll tell you a secret, the world you receive,
Is one crazy mirror maze, waiting to deceive.
To make your way, you may divert,
Pretend if you must, but do not hurt.
So, don’t you go giving me those looks.
Victors write the history books!
We’re humans, and in order to cope,
It’s our privilege to lie, though we call it hope!

Such a beautiful, impactful poem. I sang it to the tune of, ‘hush little baby please don’t cry’ and the rhythm fit in perfectly.
This is so beautiful 💚💗 The truth of life so well depicted and so awesomely written!
Beautiful lesson on lie taught. We actually live like this only. Manipulating turning and fitting as per my concerns forgetting balance is considering all. Great admirations Sai.
I love the profoundness in your poems, Sai.
