Once Had Is Not a Property

ONCE HAD IS NOT A PROPERTY Few are looking for what many got that I had Much effort is a necessity as success is a work hard Some few are looking for a shortcut; heard failure is a bad Some rather than stress themselves beyond limit they hope on dad First class became a requisite to get on the bench of elites; we read so mad Struggling to make the best of results to get on that bench; 4.5 up is not hard Two years on of great tidings; and our levels was busy beefing up to the points On that very long awaited day of reckoning; we listened for the benchmark points To our dismay; our cumulative grade points accumulations was no longer on point It became so obvious to all that we had it before is no longer a property on point. All men are born equal but not a guarantee to be the same She chose son over father; the shrink said mother is insane Now the confession; you are the son of your brother that is my son What a calamity! If am the son of my brother, my father is whose son? Sometimes lie can be better than the very truth that will stare at us Let someone break the mirror for the truth it carries mockingly hurt us This family once had a moment they thought will sustain them forever Now in chaos and family havoc; incest with a curse they hope won’t last forever As of the beginning from the family diary there was peace and understanding Walls closed in now; they had it before is no longer a property of understanding. Looked everywhere; even the very intellectual four walls of the dictionary For the meaning of what happened that wasn’t fore-told by the visionary Father wrote his last will and gave it to our family lawyer the other week This week; he is dead and my name was nowhere to be found even in one sheet This amazes everyone; mother couldn’t believe it for there was only one me Let there be heaven for next time; I rather go to hell now than let this injustice be As the son and the only child of his father I could only give the best I could give The very sand in our house will testify if none would that it was exactly what I did Didn’t get a judgement in court; the judge said it is my right but now was my right Unfortunate; I was supposed to have it all is not at all a property that is my right.
