Consumer is King!

Ive spent hours with the consumer
Looking for that elusive insight
But I hear not a sound nor a murmur
For its forever out of sight!

And then I think and think and think
To get the right words to frame
A sensible insight on paper with ink
But none to me that came.

Anyways, as always, there is something
Which can be passed on as 'eureka'
Beauty is a superficial plaything
asli khoobsoorati ko kisne dekha?

Thus came about floating in the air
A big balloon from around the globe
Trying to turn all maidens fair
Which could very well have been done on adobe

The intent is pretty, its sheer poetry
Beauty has no age, no caste no creed no bar
But a pink balloon with a bathtub frothy
Might be taking it a bit too far!

Much as I may scorn all this as nonsense
While still playing along as a marketeer
As a consumer, I love being a little dense
And succumb to the message from the beauty seers

The same nonsense makes me go gaga
And nod emphatically at the dialogues
As if we are together in this great saga
And everybody else are a bunch of rogues

No matter who one is, what one does,
One still loves to be understood
And let everyone make such a fuss
over an insight inspiring greater good!

Superstar

The name appears
The crowd roars
Then hoots and whistles
Mobs on the floor

One word is spoken
There is hushed silence
The sentence over
The noise deafens

One finger raised
All watch in anticipation
Hold their breaths
And leave in fusion

One cigar is flicked
And then loud applause
Bones are broken
Without a pause

What magic, what spell
whats that chant?
Its not hard to tell
Cos its Rajnikant!
