MAMA, JUST KILLED A MAN
A Sonnet experiment with a line taken from Bohemian Rhapsody
Arrives the boy wide eyed and wonderstruck
The world all fresh in the eyes of the child
Uniformed, and talcum powder applied
Curious imagination runs amok
Bold in questioning He is full of pluck
Then classified, caste, religion divide
Muted, Modified, and Free thought denied
Formative years in a rut, Ideas stuck
Growth steered remote controlled from the back seat
Success evaluated by a score
and then soon becoming an also - ran
Bread and Butter, Meet and Greet, Sleep and Eat
The future to be a pot bellied bore
