Lief Poem by Alok Agarwal

Lief

Rating: 5.0


Life is a mystery, where future is future
Present is past, and past is history

The rainbow of emotions entangled by honey bonds of money
Everything around us is a question mark, the roads of construction leads to destruction

Here the winner is a loser, loser is still a loser
Where there is nothing to lose and nothing to fear, who is near is not near

Solutions are easy, result is complicated
The problem is unknown, while everything else is deserted

Impossible things happen, yet a young rose is accompanied by thorns
Unpredictable things happen, yet sweet words are dangerous than violent storms

Your critic is your friend, your friend is your enemy
Hard to distinguish, hard to find 'Who am I? '

Basic laws of nature stand violated, sunset happens before sunrise
People are born by virgin birth, yet I comes before us

Promises are broken, a lie is a truth, your identity is lost
Still you are happy when others are sad and hell is our new host

Striving for mirage in concrete, when our coach is stabbed
Eye witnesses are silenced, and our contagious dagger is forlorned

Breaking shackles is a crime, punishment left to decide
Lion preys on lion but human devours human, its not far when jungle would preside

Doomsday approaching with dark black golden lining, an inevitable hour, run fast
Origin unknown, end unknown, everything that was known will again be unknown...but run fast

All hail to thee! A new poet to challenge Shakespeare is born
To teach the world, some more uncouth lines are pondered over to morn.

the flow of the poem is very good...u are a deep thinker....but wat i believe is... li fe is love and love is life, And to pursue it, a constant strife, care for thy folk, and how ye revive, to attain all it's affairs in extreme delight! ! ! !
