Life's changeable squares

nothing is permanent in life

 

night..that dark black huge dress

with both the good and the bad are hidden beneath

people...most of them are at their homes

but many are still..homeless

some have been to their beds

but some are sleepless

some are enjoying a company

while some are suffering from loneliness

some are cuddling with their lovers

while some are thinking of lovers they miss

some are satisfied with their lives

while others' lives are in a mess

some are feeling relaxed

but some are under heavy stress

some are praising life's sweetness

others are complaining from its bitterness

for some, money is in piles

others are in bad need for one pence

 

what a diverse

in such a universe

each one thinks it is his or hers

while really they are just tiny squares

today you are in a square of happiness

tomorrow you move to a square of sadness

today you are useful and in focus

tomorrow you are neglected, useless

today you may be cheap

tomorrow you may become pricelss

 

just be wise

look out of your square

see those over there

if they are suffering,

pay some care

try to share

if today you are safe, tomorrow you maybe insecure

Sometimes power and riches an illusion , the wheel turns so to speak. Lovely write Khalid.

A very good read. I like the title and the inclusion of "squares". Wise and practical writing...good job!

[GunMetal]

A fair warning to life's unpredictability. A humbling insight to the contrasts that exist in life. And an elegant statement about how fickle situations and emotions can be. Good poem, my friend.
