Downfall

Fall and rise are part of life, few give up yet some learn and stand tall...

Downfall

All dream-destinies for a better tomorrow

Turn ideas into reality, huge loans they borrow

Troubles knock everyone’s door, you’re not alone

Look around, feel unheard cries; World…full of sorrow

When success comes and hits life
everyone is utterly on different skies
even those whom we never knew, are close
Time seems frozen, life turns as a beautiful red rose

Life can throw you in smoldering hell
all the doors clogged, no path left to dwell
Sitting petrified, bitter memories with prosaic soul
world tarnished, money vanished, no one to propel

Deep, dark thoughts running in our minds
Sometimes find a way to abolish your soul
To the misery stuck on you, nothing left for fight
Was this the reason we touched opulent heights

Everyone hates, blame, curses, enjoy abusing you
Even your own self in its own way, is annoyed too
Magic of life is going back in time, watching movies
Often sad, some fun and few packed with glories

How can the world disregard, wondrous histories we made

 myriad lives we touched, flaming sun we provided shades
We only thought to make the world better place
Now they look at us with abhorrence, our hard work has fade

Yesterday squandering millions, today not a single penny
damn felt blessed with her presence, first one left was Jenny
Tensions start pummeling brain, merely luxury left was smoking

 Lifestyle revolutionized so swiftly, strange mystery left provoking

99% of life is painted with poignant tales
1% of life brings us magic of feeling ecstatic 
consider failure God’s wish, accept without malice
Downfall an eradicator, its life's we’ve to gracefully face

 

It’s not only you, history is full of characters

One day they were king, next in vagrant’s attire

Treasures are left where they belong

All they took with them was their dirty desires

Destiny is not a fickle thing... What is weak is man's ability to understand it. We can lose ourselves, stepping backwards into the rapid-moving river of fate, and be lashed by emotions on the way, and then drown in circumstances beyond our control. But despite this, there's value in human determination. You've touched on many things in this poem, friend, but these themes are what stood out for me. Keep writing.

[A. Amos]

Thank you Landred, I love your depth insight and words of your wisdom means allot for me.

[Your Teaship]

You really have a way with words! You've pointed out more than a handful of excellent themes that often go untouched or only scratched along the surface. It's an absolute joy to read. Lovely and honest piece!

[A. Amos]

Thank you for stopping by and your kind words

This is just what I needed to read today. I understand this so well. I have been wondering my whole life why people feel the need to abuse, blame and curse at others… and then I have felt I get in the way of my own path of any type of success.. and I know I am not alone in this… but it feels like it when you are completely alone 24/7. Thank you A.Amos! it's brilliant!

[A. Amos]

Thank you Nance, glad you enjoyed the read

And only if all would read this, hear it and understand the trueness they all think they can overcome, and yet fail to. I am honored to have felt this poem through the uniqueness of your written voice.

I'm a little twisted up by this piece, a bit different than what I usually read. I like that it keeps me on my toes. It has interesting flow and rhythm. We often lose touch of what really makes our lives worth living, after that which is fleeting, despertly hoping it will brinn us peace, or joy, or happyness evrlasting, but alas it is fleeting becuse it isnt real. So we continualy search for that which is until one day we find ourselves lost in a quagmire wndering how we gor there. Very good write.

[A. Amos]

Thank you realmwriter for your visit and glad you enjoyed the write...

[realmwriter]

You're most welcome.

I always feel like your writing have deep meaning behind them, and layers to them. They are truly amazing works. :D I like the dark feel behind this one (my favorite types of poetry). I like how your poems are a little on the long side, it seems like they are a short story, and I like that. I also really like the rhythm and flow of your poems. Great work!

[A. Amos]

Thank you my dear friend and you know I'm one of your biggest fan myself:)

We go through stages of life but none bring us happiness like the birth of a child the new house the first childs birthday. Your sons first home run It is not money that brings us happiness it is memories of happy times with friends and family .The only thing money brings is the fear of losing it

[A. Amos]

Thank you my friend
