Heroine

Steroid grown heroine

Glorified bonded labour,

Glamorous child labour

Of dream selling tinsel town!

Her mom, her vigilant selfish guardian

Her dad, her wealth’s greedy custodian

Her smile

Her wink

Her walk

Her talk,

Are not her own

Her own contemplation invites her parents’ frown

Deprived of childhood pleasures

Filling parental coffers and treasures

Fatigue of continuous shooting shifts

Star status causing psychosomatic rifts

She remains a money earning machine

Helplessly submitting to the elders’ selfish mission

She maintains numerous bank accounts

But not once, her earnings she counts

The limousine she travels is not in her name

The mansion she lives, bought for her dad’s dame

She lives in a vicious conditional frame

Her life is just a story of concealed tears covered with fame

Wearing a synthetic smile

Gearing for a reluctant glamorous journey for many a mile

The Cuckoo in whose life the autumn arrived early

continues her cine sojourn hurly-burly

Yesterdays cute little girl

Today’s Glamour doll

Acting with aging heroes

Dreaming for unknown morrows

Continues her unenthusiastic stroll

Concealing in her heart, an agonizing pall!
