He Wants To Retreat
Ardent passion of going high,
Desire to touch the illusion of sky,
Tempted to earn fame and name ,
Restless effort to reach the aim,
All led to a point of commitment
To earn wealth to uttermost extent,
Where, each success enhances thirst.
Thirst of advancement seems the worst ,
When one forgets to celebrate present success,
Out of fear to miss the next chances to progress,
Ignoring surroundings and overtaking all ,
Though, he reaches his goal after all,
He is in discontentment and melancholy,
Despite his dreams fulfilled , he is wealthy.
He finds himself in a darkness of agitation,
The rivalry of growth and competition.
Within the roar of glory of success,
Receiving compliments and praises,
His peace-less surroundings remind,
His true happiness is left behind.
