Playing God

It’s by accident

That I discovered

I am an artist.

I want my work

To be just so,

not a line here

not a line there.

I don’t have time

for others’ ideas

in my work. It’s my

Creation and let me

have the freedom

to do it my way.

It’s a work of art

after all and not

the day’s work.

“All my life

I have swallowed

Your irritations

And carpings.”

Agreed, but aren’t

Artistes to be pampered?

Every detail has to be in place,

if it has to fetch appreciation.

The purpose of art is to

imitate God in controlling

One’s creation. My life’s story.
