Standing on life's long road
The eyes cast ahead
Expectant looks
Of green trees
And gently tossing flowers.
But on the way
Life cruelly displays
Signboards
Of RETREAT.
And discouragement.
To riot the mind
With Dreams of the Mahatma,
High ambitions,
Collapsing faith
And the wretched wolfish motives.
In the course
Time flies.
The sun sets.
The little story is wound up.
And a vanquished is born somewhere.
Learning the ABC's of life
Only to let out
Long sighs and weak moans
Fighting a hard battle
Single handedly…..
