Poetry 14 | Delayed Deliverance | Ashwin Kumar

Writer's picture: EditorEditor


You delay my salary and incentives

But expect me to stay positive

On work, do you want me to pace up

But you yourself don't pace up

When it comes to paying my dues

Fed up am I, with you!


You delay my salary and incentives

But my work, am I supposed to love

You keep me on tenterhooks

How can you be in my good books?


You delay my salary and incentives

However, the revenue, am I expected to drive

This is so fucking unfair

But you don't seem to care!!


You delay my salary and incentives

Lame reasons, do you give

Seriously, do you expect me to buy them?

Act, I will not, according to your whims!!


You delay my salary and incentives

With respect to the latter, has it been months

All this while, have I been very patient

Always bearing the brunt


Of your constant nagging and scolding

However, is there a limit to everything

The exact words of my grandfather


Now, have I reached the end of my tether

Always, do you want me to deliver

Now, it's time for YOU to deliver

That's all I can say!!
