Complicated in it's origin
Computed India version
Crushed by the English pound
So much so
It's now an alias
Trying to define its own, 
Own

We have to be home, inside, with the doors locked, and curtains pulled shut, by 6
No later no sooner
We don't want to be out when the city’s protectors begin to roam the streets

Often.now and then in a frolic line provoking humour
Whining about not escaping the compulsory sleep,
An unrelenting labour punctual on duty which is paid daily.

Dangling, weighted taut

I went through each day,
Just trying to wipe away,
The tears that I would cry.
But no matter how hard I would try,
They always came back.
Almost like a heart attack.

You were supposed to be my best friend.
But now that has come to an end.
I had put all my trust in you,
I should have known it was too good to be true.
I tried everything I could do,
To try to please you.

The mane upholstered westerly with silvery threads waywarding
Down the lithe torso tensed with vigour eagerly awaiting-

Wing me high in your lustrous wings;
