Paradigm of the Clueless

cycle of poverty, unfairness of fate, paradigm of the poor.

Two wandered in the darkness, waiting for the unknown

Both journey started with innocent tears

One showered everyone with happiness the other, frown

In an uneven circumstance but both cause fears

All product of love in different understanding

Rules of the land bind the one, the other nothing

The fruit of the united is treated as blessing

And the other was branded as an addition to suffering

 

The wanderers was nurtured in the terrene differently

One is living on par with a king, the other a servant

The king-like surface the land with shoes and a full tummy

Servant walks barefoot, begging ration to masses for sustainment

Sure existence couldn’t get any harder, but fate is not his ally

As the crippling wanderers’ progenitors gave life to its seventh offspring

While the life of the fortunate wanderer remained luxuriant despite a modest family

The unfortunate one is grieving, cornered as if the only escape is, dying

 

Surprisingly, both aged up, capable of standing alone

Fates’ friend continue his triumphant run in life

The victim live a little better compared to old home

What deemed as a mishap occurred in the past, felt forever

Repeated itself as if the lesson did not mattered

The unfortunate grown man started life for a new wanderer

Both in tears but the aged one is shattered

The younger one cries innocently, clueless on what’s about to unfold

Covered in the darkness, left to die in the cold

 

The unfortunate wanderer questioned the life he lived

He ran away from the sound of tears of his beloved kid

Then he saw the lucky wanderer, enjoying the life he received

He then realized that life is no way fair

Hopeless, the wanderer failed to resist the wrath of fate

Whispers with his final breathe the same question in the air

Why did one had to live in such dire condition

Died clueless, because only fate know the answer
