When You Get Too Much

By Deepali Chahal

When you look for life in all the places, In the diamonds/spades and that too in haze When you hold your cards up in the spaces You turn them around and find kings and ace!

When you’re down and out and want an escape, To the country’s outskirts in a blink. When you close your eyes and see rivers of Beer, Beer, beer everywhere and all of it to drink!

When you wish for spark in blinding dark, To give you hope and an end to wars. When you find yourself floating in a sky embark You find a sky, a sky full of stars

When you want a little and get a lot So much so that you can hoard.

When smiles around are all you spot Just don’t forget to thank the Lord!
