An insignificant soul

An insignificant soul

Friday,19th July 2019

 

There is nothing to fear

but always to bear

the pain and anguish

till life is finished

 

unknown face

standing alone in the race

with the delicate phase

or with the stiff chase

 

even though being called as an insignificant soul

I find the high wall

to climb or fall

it is strange life's call

 

I can't put the mask

and accept the task

to cheat the other brethren

and seek heaven for self

 

life has taught so many things

honest is not the only thing to bring

somewhere the self-assertion is needed

and somewhere crookedness is also required

 

for assumptions, ideal things are welcome

but they don't come along

we resort to unethical way

and make presence anyway
