Aspirations

Speaks about the vanity of life

We come to the world 
Again and again 
Scattering the seeds of our deeds 
In vain. 
And water them with careless hands 
Aspiring to become more than plain. 

Our lives are like a flower 
Which smile when it blooms, 
And spread its fragrance 
Here and there 
Till the time when it swoons. 

Almighty Time laugh out loud 
When we are still young and gay, 
Expecting much to gain from the world 
We work hard night and day. 

Always hurrying, towards the unknown 
We neglect dear ones and friends, 
Till the day we reach the end 
When Time stab us from behind! 
All our dreams, 
Those happy dreams melt away 
The remains of which no one'll find.

I Agree you, I think sometimes people carried away in life. Time never stops for such people & life ends empty hands. Well written!

Our expectations are infinite and finally devoured by time
