Take me home

Take me home

It’s been a long time since you delivered me here
I have had my fill, played a lot, learnt my lessons,
Now I need to sleep,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home.


Toys do not interest me any more nor do candies,
Neither words nor numbers,
My caretakers love me a lot but
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home.

You told me to be sincere so I topped where I chose to
But that interests me no more
No more medals, certificates, recognitions
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home.

Can you not see how I howl for you
Or hear my tears falling
Or feel my body shake as I sob for you
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home.

They tell me you live far away
I do not know your address or cell or email
So I write this hoping some angel carries my words to you
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home.

Just appear once, only once
Touch me, hug me and cradle my head in your lap
And deliver me back to you
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Please take me home,
Ma, Please take me home, Please.

E-math-otions

Green woods plus loneliness equals tranquility
Ipod minus machinery equals silence
Touch multiplied by imagination equals passion
Soul divided by pettiness equals detachment
Belief compounded by hope is trust
Honesty squared is innocence
Breathe to the power of moments is procrastination
Root of truth is imaginary.
Idea exp Energy is Industries
Living Cell exp Energy is Planste

ME2

ME2

While walking down the stairs in EC2
He saw a fragile state-of-the-art computer
In a sturdy brown box, with words

PLEASE DO NOT DROP
KEEP ME STRAIGHT
PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE

Silently he bowed his head
“Ishwar, Me too”, he said.
