He adored John McEnroe
As a boy,
His charisma
His playing style
But not the way he
Thrashed his tennis racket
After every devastating match.
He is Sachin Tendulkar.
He adored Sir Isaac Newton
His early breakthrough
But did not retreat himself
From modifying his works
With a novel vision
An ocean of ideas.
He was Albert Einstein.
But now is the time
With some modern followers
Worshiping their idols
Striving hard to prove
Their every wrong right
Replicating their actions
Their every gesture
Their every word
Diminishing
Their common sense
Their souls
Their hearts
Their humanity
With a submissive mind
With a sadistic approach.
Now we need another
Michael Phelps
Who would dare to say,
‘I don’t want to be
Second Mark Spitz
But first Michael Phelps.’
