Competition

Competition! Competition! Competition! 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.
