Fresh out of college,
Armed to the teeth with ambition
and my brand-new MBA
I joined a large investment firm.
First day on the job.
Folks friendly enough.
The president came to address
His new batch of eager analysts.
Good, long, solemn speech.
What are the firm's Philosophy
And Goals and what else…
'Stuffy in there' I thought and dozed off.
Woken up by the applause,
I checked my watch in alarm
I was nearing thirty-five.
Time for early retirement.
I went to look for a real life.
In the plaza the religious criers
Were hawking their job offers
"Join us, be part of the Elect!"
Part from them, that I did.
I took a quiet by-lane
that lead to
You.
