Life

 "Life"

Came into the world, and cried a lot,

In the mothers lap, the divine I sought.

I cried and wept, the whole day long

Sleep dawned on me at my mother’s song.

I played a lot, my innoncence at it’s best.

Parents behind me and no time to rest.

Subjects increased, my smile decreased

‘One day, I’ll become a big man’ I believed.

I strived hard, to be the best,

I fought, I competed to leave the rest.

The innocence now, is completely lost,

So called ‘Intelligence’, is only what I gave got.

I wanted this and I wanted that

I ruined my present, to keep future intact.

My life was driven by insatiable greed,

But money couldn’t buy everything I need.

Bank balance is high, life balance is low.

A millionaire so fast but a human so slow.

Didn’t care for family, didn’t care for friends

I stand here alone with nothing I could amend.

I loved my friends, but was too busy to express,

I ignored them with a ‘NO’, when I could have said ‘YES’

I had just one life but I died in between,

Hope in the next birth, I could make a more beautiful scene.
