A CRICKET GAME

One more wicket down

Yesterday fell another crown

My shuttler partner

A daredevil and dear

A debater king

Who could grow wings

Fly to the mountains

Walk miles and carry tons

Loved clashing brains together

None surrendered to each other

It was a non ending war

Just looked so from far

Smiled, when I loudly yelled, help!

to stop him

All angles he clicked with his cameras

and wicked grin

All my criminal cases he taught me to win

Though not a lawyer, even judges praised him

He was the fake enemy, he was the friend

Till his last day, his ways he never did mend

Cancer caught him for seven years

Every day he lived without any fears

If one knew to live, it was my this hero

I accept defeat, you were right I am a zero

Hey life! my life looks like a cricket game

Keep bowling googlies, keep erasing names

Where have you placed me ,the eleventh man

It will be a winning strike, won’t let down my fans.
