Shadow shaded before eyes
Tagged to reveal truth
Behind the curtains
Behold the true image.
Me, the looser or gainer
Kept close as my own
Left all, for the goodness
As I think, as my dearer.
Tough and hard
Before law of the land
And social status
We are separated.
No hard and fast rules
Forgot about life
Argued against each
No surrender.
Darkness and deep clouds
Evacuated to clear the stars
Comes as a beam of light
To flash my mourning's of mind.
The efforts to hold tightly
Failed the truth for ever
Ignoring life on shore
The gainers demands.
A prick of scratch in my heart,
Leaves a page unwritten
To answer the question in future
Am I a looser or gainer.

Am I a looser or gainer? sure, both as the separation was inevitable. It is my experience too.
Hi Mr Sekharan, Wonderful. Though your poem has no reference to the quote from The Bible, I could read these words in your poem. And you had these words in your mind while writing the poem! This is poets' brotherhood! Great
Hi Mr Sekharan, I have just read the poem Practice Detachment by poet Rimni Chakravarti on PH. Now I have this wonderful poem by you. The irony of what we count as success or failure is to be pondered in hindsight, after a while. What we think is an astounding success today may turn out to be total failure tomorrow. Of course, you can term this philosophy also as: : Philosophy of Losers: : ! ! ! (contd....)
The last stanza is too powerful to leave a scratch in my mind also.
