A friend we all have

He is aware, he is burning his money 
With every cigarette he smokes. 
He is too fond of seriousness 
And it reflects in his jokes. 

His friends are his puppets, 
He teaches them discipline, 
Secrets of going to bad places 
And coming out clean. 

Self reliance is his motto, 
Which he often forgets. 
Asks his friends politely 
To pay for his cigarettes. 

He holds tiny birds 
Behind the bars 
And plays songs of freedom 
On his guitar. 

His spirit smells like of a teen 
With an age old attire 
People, this is a true story, 
Don't call it satire.

Careless

He climbed the tall trees 
With no fear of falling down. 
He swam in the marshy lakes. 
He knew, he will never drown. 
He grew up catching snakes. 
For him, it was a child's play. 
He lived carefree, 
Every moment of the day. 
People called him insane 
Said, "He is careless." 
But his carelessness made him 
A careful being today.
