My Ideals are Gone

    I persevered, ‘My ideals are gone’
        Life mocked me, NO! – 
 
    ‘Ideals’ untested in reality’s crucible 
        are worthless, unusable

Ideals are merely theoretical untill they are tested by real world challenges.The poem reflects the true realities of life,short but has profound meanings.
