Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

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 !
