Please Stop Now !

Please Stop Now! I see her legs tumbling down.

I’ve seen her juggle it with one hand,
Then she juggled it with two.
She lapped it for a while,
Then she shouldered it too.
But it has grown from,
Million ounces to billion pounds
Please stop now!
I see her legs tumbling down.

A child of the Indies,
As a toddler she had a governess Portuguese,
When in her teens she was handed to an English.
Till she turned enough old she was set free.
Since, she fought a thousand storms `N`
A million hard times
Ensure her siblings all grace `n` shine.

Now she is old many decades hence,
She’s insecure to want her house fenced
A small isle has turned into
A Metropolis town
Please stop now!
I see her legs tumbling down.

In the good young days
She loved the caress & cruise of wheels,
But now she `s battered `n` bruised,
By the waves of steel
Above the chameleon sky warps from,
Blue to black `n` brown

Please stop now!
I see her legs tumbling down.

It seems that this talent of yours was hidden away from all of us.I really dont know why you never told about this to anyone of us.But when you showed me this and I read all of it I have realised that we all have missed on something very great all these years
