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.

[Mira ThePoetess]

I like that review .... quite profound Landred

Sixty-nine reviews in less than five days...need I even read this? That pretty much says it all. Obviously I'm kidding, of course I read it, and was blown away. I agree with BR's anointment of this piece as an epic. You are without a doubt one of the most talented writers we have here...I always wish I had more to say in my reviews but you say pretty much everything there is to say in the poems themselves. I bow to your poetic royalty my friend.

[A. Amos]

Thank you KK, I feel humble as a deep thinker always consider myself as human servant and making them aware of things what we writers can feel...BR is also a true honest soul who care and always try his best to spread awareness as much as he can. You my friend are brilliant writer and its an honor to read your words in such a high manner. We all have to work together, support each other and with words try our best to educate our selves and others. I simply consider myself a learner and all you guys are sea of knowledge, collecting few drops will be my reward. Kindly accept my humble gratitude for your kind words.

[kublakhan27]

So well-said my friend...again I can only tip my hat in respect, and thank you for the support you give me. Confidence is not my strong suit (especially around here, frankly) and it means more than you realize to know you appreciate my words so much...salutations :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Those who really care about us are not the ones who stand by us when we are on top, it is the ones who lie next to us when are at our lowest.

[A. Amos]

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

All they took with them was their dirty desires
