Maze of Life

Nothing feels steady and in absolute control
As we stroll through this maze called life  
We need to keep soul brave to play this role
And no emotion but a sharp brain like a knife

People don’t have time to enjoys other’s occasions
Envy survives so social cooperation diminishes
Over progressive defiance brings devastation
Where worth of humanity and conscience finishes
  
Opportunities are to be grabbed without fail
Hurdles are to be defeated without delay
Theory sounds simple but qualms curtail
It is not exactly black and white but grey

Competition is at its peak to get opportunity
Hurdles are also man-made to win the race
Ethics are either redefined or lost entity
By hook or crook people need success
