Harbouring Panglossian hopes and nurturing visions Elysian

Venky led his life day dreaming and was a child to love’s paean;

Until the day reality decided to not just manifest but give him one royal kick

The impact of which made the poor Utopian horribly sick

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

He was gone to rust.
