Eraser

Samy 2006 (India)

Free verse
I am used,used in excess
I correct, correct your faults
In all my life, I am bound to toil
Still, I am just devoid
These pencils they lack forsight
For when I am out of sight
They get paranoid
When these pencils would turn into Pens
They will realise my worth just then
For all the missteps they can't undo
They'll dwell on the past to think what's true
For, when they'll know I'll be gone
