Real fool

entry picture

1th July 2019

 

I am a real fool

who had never been successful

yet, I am hopeful

and never remain resentful

 

I look around

and search the ground

for my dreamland

and reach there at the end

 

hours after hours I spend

and try to mend

the ways in a good manner

and meet with the failure

 

I have full satisfaction

with my actions

but meet with stiff reaction

from the people around in relation

 

I am not cowed down

and made it known

that whatever be the result

I shall never mind the insult

 

people call me a fool

and address as a dumb schoolboy

but I see a bright future for tomorrow

and grow with that dream
