THE FAKIR, THE QUEEN AND THE SHEEP

I am summoned by the mother of angels my Queen
She in her kitty has a thousand offers to make
You know She has descended here to heal every problem of problems
You know She hates to see her children sleep in the laps of hunger
You know She is concerned
Compassionate, affectionate,loving,soothing,caring,sharing
Yes She is everything
Everything that a Queen is destined to have
She is my Queen and your Queen and unquestionably every body's
You know she wants every child of hers to be crowned
Knows She even in her depths of clouded sights She can't fulfil that
But challenges She, She will have that realised one day, yes one fine day.
She has a husband smart and handsome
He rarely attends the court
He rarely comes out of that hilltop castle
He rarely travels countryside
Saw him I last time when the Queen bore her first son.
Next month her son is expected to be father if everything with his better half goes right.

I am summoned by the mother of angels my Queen
Our knight of the eastern province last Sunday was summoned too
A man of business,thought and doing
He had differences with different courtiers of the Queen
It was about the legal taxes and soaring prices groceries and dipping prices of automobiles
Sheep are we all, do we all as told we are to
Fields are ours, pastures are ours, crops are ours, seeds are ours
plough we, irrigate we, manure we, harvest we
Sacks eight out ten that every sheep grows is Royal tax!
That comes back to market sheds is costlier than loamy soil under our cracked feet
Plough we for food ploughed are our bellies taxes they call it for!
Our knight sought for mercy
And given he was plenty
Vultures of our eastern province are loyal too
they went on an indefinite hunger strike
they calmly rejected to dine on our knight
And then came the order
and
they were sent to heaven too
Not to deny the fact with all royal respects for being so loyal.

I am summoned by mother of angels my Queen
I am the knight now, knight of the sheep, sheep of the eastern province, province of my Queen
I am the knight now, of faith have they bestowed upon me an honour to yell
Vultures of the eastern province in Lords I pray
To reject to dine on my flesh of my sullen limbs
Assured my fleet to fight for the caged rights without any respite.
