To be

"To be" by Fayyaz Minhas.
--
A multi-sourced income that pays
for a black dress that shows just the right amount
of a girl who tastes like strawberries
nestled in your arms in a
A car that warms your butt on a cold night
and drives on both octane and electricity
From a house with an infinite pool
on a street that has just the right shade
of tarmac and leads to a
cafe that serves a brownie and coffee
in the price of a week's groceries
Where you could find people
Talking seriously
about sending their kids to boarding schools abroad
to fulfill "their dreams"
of being entrepreneurs with their ingenious
scheme of making an app for monitoring
the soakedness of organically sterilized tampons
For women empowerment
And scale Everest
or sail around the globe in a soap bubble
towards the end of their corporate lives
and be remembered as the greatest humans
to have ever died!
