The Tale of Hillary
Hillary was born on a fair weather day Born into the warm and solid embrace of the sweet scented spices of life Hillary knew not that there are such words as sadness and miseries and strife She never knew that life for some can be bred on despair For though she sometimes saw flashes and glances of desperation everywhere Hillary never gave a care For Hillary the world is made of vibrance and radiance She never believed there could be damages and darknesses And even if there were there They existed only in letters and patterns on the patched faces Of the people out there Somewhere And not part of her heavenly comfy world here But life can be as cruel as it can be fair He does not have a constant shelter Today he is cruel to Henry Tomorrow he is friendly to Cherry Soon it was time to visit Hillary He went with all loads of his shattered version of self Dumped everything and all at where Hillary dwells And when Hillary fell I believe you can tell She was as surprised as an old blind bat can be When it opens its eyes to a smiling sunlight for the first time in life Hillary wandered in the blinding ray of gloom She choked in the sodid smoke of grief She never found flavor for life again and soon She surrendered to the irresistible arms of sleep Deep eternal sleep Founded in eternal and restless rest Not even one soul in the World did weep Oh poor Hillary was gone How good would it have been Had she endeared a soul I mean just one soul with just one positive goal Or affected lives even within The open community of her abode
