             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.
