Life

It all started with a cry
So loud, monuments shook and trembled.
Progress was made slowly
Towards the ladder of success.
Men came and men went,
The ladder was the only seen path,
Highlighted beyond its worth of glory,
Magnified in its importance.

Then one fine late winter's morning,
Began the steep climb,
Like everyone else,
but with an ambitious knack.

Many a times the step,
Seemed farther than possible to reach.
Sometimes so rusted, almost infectious...
But the ladder never stopped,
Nor did the formidable climb.
With every challenge,
Came renewed vigour and zeal,
To conquer the unbeatable,
To stabilize the spontaneous,
To curb the uncontrollable.

Time never stopped,
Nor will it ever for anyone.
What is gone is gone.
Sensibility demands it to be treated,
As a lesson learnt,
An experience gained.
Chances are a part of life,
Partly the reason for our very existence.
Words may never be literal,
But two-faced,
As so many of us behave,
At so many instances in our lives.

Promises were never meant to be broken,
Nor were hearts that beat so faithfully.
There is so much more to learn,
So much knowledge to gain,
So many experiences to share.

Why let frustration,
Spoil the already spoilt?
One reason for pessimism,
Maybe the want to seek vengeance,
For all the wrongs done in the past,
That no one deserved to suffer from.

Why do others then,
Deserve the same fate,
That uncaring wants brought you?
Why is the sense of responsibility,
Burnt to ashes by the desire
To "teach" a lesson,
To someone who wasn't even involved,
With the mishap your life went through?

Goodness will always be taken for granted,
And good people will always perish,
Such is the order of things.
But, if orders were not to be followed,
Why special exception to this?
Experience was never meant
To lower your espectations of yourself.
It was merely meant to guide you,
And make you a master of all trades.

When a lesson is learnt,
A value is added to
The ones already with you.
Wisdom demands a zealous approach
To what unexected lies ahead,
Smartness offers a helping hand
To imbibe all worthy thoughts
That may escape a negative outlook,
Bringing calm to the mind,
Cheer to the soul,
And fulfilling a life,
That seemed so unnecessary...
