                                       Yesterday`s Wishes

                  My yesterday`s wishes have turned sweet-sour:
                            I had wished a public body to head,
                        I toiled day and night to reach the tower
                     And through hard work to attain the hotbed.

                     At last my star in the sky had shone bright,
                        The divinities had scanned my wishes
                     From darkness of night I was drawn to light
                         In fulfilment of previous near-misses.

                      Ere long envious eyes vied for the hot seat
                         And did not fail to stab me in the back,
                           Hurl me in a ditch all alone to bleed
                            And seals of impunity did not lack.

                        Soon forced to quit the seat of the tower
                                Not out of any incompetency
                           But to rope in a friend of new masters,
                     All dreams shattered through loss of sole duty.

                    With clouds of stress singly shrouding my health
                             Living just turned into a daily strife,
                        Yesterday`s wishes were buried at length,
                            Now light of inner self kindles my life.
