The System of Life

Someone has said that life is a mystery Wrapped in enigma’s folds of obscurity None till this day has cracked this secrecy That indeed, establishes its inscrutability. The childhood and teen-age bestow fun With lots and lots of time and dynamism But what pinches most every youngster Is an empty pocket that steals the revelry. The grown-up man has abundant energy And his wallet ever puffed-up with cash Is nevertheless miserable and despairing For, he has truly no time for fun and frolic. When a man grows old, he is tormented Then lacks energy that keeps him worried Has enough of time for leisure and holiday With purse that is brimming with currency. This is true story of life of all individuals With no worthwhile solution to set it right Everyone have to suffer this predicament Alas! There is no escaping from this plight.
