Splendid Youtube Accepted My Bid

I couldn't get a film career
I was very much interested
In our place they ignored me
I was helpless unfortunately

To become a film actor
Was like sheer gambling
Even if we act in one film
If it is a flop, totally lost

Approaching a director
Was an impossible task
They were inaccessible
And they were arrogant

Film institute said a firm no
When I wanted to join it
Being a degree holder
They feared I would quit

I tried  to the maximum extent
But, I got no breakthrough
Finally I joined a famous bank
And forgot the film career

At age fifty, YouTube rescued
I could send my videos to it
It kindly accepted and helped
An incomparable service indeed

Due to a variety of reasons
I couldn't give performance
Consistently to my gloom
But, now, I must start again

My wife operated the camera
But her mother had cancer
So she refused to help me
And there happened a gap

Later I myself took self-video
And loaded it with great hope
Again many personal problems
Prevented to my disappointment

YouTube has opened the door
To every human being kindly
It is a kind of God's assistance
Nothing else will match that

Around 75 self-videos I have given
I plan to give more before dying
By using properly had inspiration
I must give some useful stuff!
