Career Guidance Counselling by an escapist

There is an alternative choice of career, like a poet, a photographer, a painter, et al

I opted for neither, but stuck to it all

The point very much likely is my own undoing

For all three seem to be nothing I like as of now

Humor me, You see, if you are an artist, a painter let's say

You are in India, and let's just say in the sweltering month of May

Your paints dry quicker than my lover's love for me

Your painted canvas cracks like hardened clay

A photographer then, would be good choice

As if those paints weren't expensive, everything camera is worse

You sit idle for a few days, for folks aren't commiting crimes like weddings

Your camera lenses and fungus are probably having an affair

A poet then should be a good choice, marginally maybe I agree

But then again what does a poet need to k really invest

Trust be told, paints, films, Lenses, the whole shebang can be replaced

A poet touts his heart, which is often misplaced and displaced

Me, I have a different problem though, a flight of daft

Those choice professions though options, have been explored by now

As my life just chisels me, slowly and painfully each day 

I sit idle, enslaved by the universe undeniable and always at play
