Chapters of My Life
CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE
Discrete chapters containing several happenstances
compose book of LIFE: An automatic process.
Life is not a continuous function.
Sometimes monotonous, sometimes glorious,
sometimes success to assure,
sometimes failure to endure.
Sometimes rapture to capture,
Or despair not at all rare.
YET ONCE
TOLERANCE in my childhood was compulsion
in hostile domestic atmosphere.
A helpless innocent girl in turmoil of domiciliary turbulence
had to spend suffocated days
being deprived of Mom’s love.
Dad’s affection and Grandma’s care brought little solace.
SILENCE broke on start of adolescence.
Firmly determined to attain free independent life
as soon as possible
but circumstances were not permissible.
As lone fighter, I became self-trained.
My dad implemented Universal Moral Values in me
to shape my life.
I tried best to lead a disciplined life
on path of Truth and Honesty.
Always attended associates
with compassionate generous heart
When cheated, my hatred discarded
the offender.
Never compromised with Lies and Malice.
Completed duties, enjoyed Life.
Most ambitions are fulfilled.
Greatest happiness to raise up children
up to my satisfaction.
BUT NOW
All achievements are turned into junk.
Life seems meaningless.
Whatever potentiality still I hold
lying indolent supine
not to define
me anymore.
Future too short: Running useless through last phase.
