Burning Daylight

Burning daylight Burnt the whole daylight and entered the dark, Only to learn plight of firefly that glowed in the dark, Burnt the whole daylight to find the spark, Lost in depressive fight else had touched high as skylark, Burnt the whole daylight to hide the shame, Of unfairly attained delight else had not brought dis fame, Burnt the whole daylight in kindness and good intent, For sound sleep of the night of peace and content, Burnt the whole daylight in gaining education, Studying also at night for better gradation, Burning the whole daylight life was an absolute waste, Knowledge rose to height but humanity lost its taste !
