Pearls On A String Poem by Sunny Chopra

A lifetime full of motley shades,
some vibrant a few hued blue

Few transpired as likely strokes,
while some unceremoniously undue

How ostensible to get typecast
get served many a terse blow

With stabs in the back deepest
with twisting motions very slow

Expected storms can be endured
not the gusts of winds wild

One learns to ingest toughest
but the malleable intake mild

Familiarly known are the judges,
the jury and proverbial situate

Where awards are preordained
judgments curtly seal your fate

Millions may be in reckoning
with a few one gets to equate

Who believe in your objectivity
and to your core values relate

Subsistence is greatest tutor,
keeps guiding till the end

Few memories fondly cherished
and all people you truly befriend
