To make a point

Everyone needs you, they say,

while you’re all destitute.

We got your back, we’re there for you.

Trust me my friend, you are a fugitive.

You have your life, and you’ve got to live.

Everyone loves you, they say,

while you’re all desperate.

We care for you, we’re forever buddies.

Trust me my friend, you are alone.

You have a heart, but no time to mourn.

Everyone appreciates you, they say,

while you’re all decomposed.

We like your work, we’re okay with it.

Trust me my friend, you are unique.

You have flair, but streaming on uphill creek.

But now, after you are married, everyone questions your decisions and actions (even inactions). You are blamed for posing a “changed” (read, spoilt ) behaviour and it is basically not you – it's because of YOUR WIFE, who has drastically changed you as per her convenience and necessities, just because you are like clay in your thirties. Anybody can manipulate you and make you their slave, right? That’s the intention of every marriage – to enslave all of “Man” kind. The mother-sister combo tries that for a particular period with all their love. To some extent they succeed without any resistance from you. Because, you too love them back equally for everything they did to you, right from your birth till your marriage. Now that you have become their most prized possession, it is nearl...
