Distaff
Are like clock
You might refute
But this is absolutely true
keep moving whole day
keep moving whole night
Like tick tick tick tick of clock
Moving unwillingly in spite of discord
Childhood to youth, youth to mature age
keep on moving till ripe age
Nothing is of own
keep on moving like machine
keep on moving like clock
Remain tied to the stake
To which tied in childhood
Wanted to spend youthful days
In own accord, but could not
Her knot was tied to a squidgy fellow
A fellow that was beyond her liking
About whom she does not know anything
And is sent with him
Then begins tick tick, dissension and discord
Just keep on moving like clock
Depreciating and depreciating
Like a clock and then one day
Comes to a stand still.
That is all about her
Is this her destiny
To keep on dancing to tunes of others.
