An
advert post
On the
street, television,
radio, etc
Came
calling for quest
for greatness,
Of many
but few to be chosen
We stand out during
the test of time
Smiled
at our flash of
brilliant light
But soon, we
realized our
differences
As we
dance to the rhythm
of song
Rendered
with studied peg of
reasoning
More
music less joy
And the
more we look,
The less
we see
Even in
laughter, the heart
Was
sorrowful for the
evicted
We stood
with reluctant
feet’s
Knowing
not our fate
Soon,
the call is over
And the
winner declared
We sang
joyful songs of pain
Then I
realize we are all
winners
In the
process not the end.
