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.

You vividly express many ideas here in this poem. You have captured the way life seems to turn us in circles through out the ages, in many eras and in our own personal lives. Wonderful write, loved reading this today.

"even those whom we never knew, are close
Time seems frozen, life turns as a beautiful red rose" my favorite part of this wonderful poem. I can see you just grow and get better and better, this was beautiful

Dismal poem. I like this unique idea about people on different skies "When success comes and hits life
everyone is utterly on different skies." And I love this part and it's rhythmn, even if it could use some fixes in grammar: "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." I don't understand the Jenny part and am rather lost in the poem's wordiness. Each stanza takes an unexpected direction. It leaves me feeling confused, but perhaps it's meant to do so? As a whole, it is a lament on life.

Thank you Qavah...

This was another Amazing Poem! Often, at times in Our Lives-Life Truly Can in fact Be Very challenging.What I do, when times aren't Easy, is I allow My dreams to take rise within me. I always my mind set on working towards my dreams, from as far back as I can Remember. Somehow those Harshened times Pass, and we Grow and Learn A lot From those times. I always keep my Dreams Very Close to My Heart-Always

[A. Amos]

Thank you Michelle...

Your Very Welcome.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Brilliant ending, boundless pondering and speculations brought to a simple and masterful close.
With such a faithful following you may not have time for one more fan. Nevertheless, may I say well done.

[A. Amos]

Thank you Cherrie...

Loved it! Especially the ending. Fabulous poem. It is so honest, very dark, and I feel like there was a chunk of me in it. It definitely captured a large group of people.

Just... great!
