A Birthday Poem for Your B'day

I wish
you're born short
not tall like Chinar
that takes roots deep
and years to give shade
                                              The world is in a hurry
                                               it won't wait for you

Be born like grass
to be trampled upon
and believe
it's in your nature to be stamped on

I wish you're not born human
but a worm
spineless
and be relieved
of this burden of conscience

                                               Man with a Gun,
                                               and that's the tragedy of this world,
                                               is more poised
                                               than man with a Book
              
May you be born
with ultimate physical beauty
Do some nonsense
in front of your screen 
Become famous, viral
Don't burden yourself with wisdom
Thinking, Reading or other mundane activities

                                               Stupidity is the new wisdom
               
May you be born
filthy rich
and make others work
humiliate them
oppress
and alienate them
so that their parents 
write this poem for them
