The Undying Aspiration

THE UNDYING ASPIRATION.
Looking around for something
Searching about to see anything
Now I found a thing
Just to realize it was nothing.

I search for it in the sky
Limited my dreams to my sight
Lifted my eyes and all I could do was to sigh
At the twinkling stars popping in the sky.

Then it seemed I was engaged in a duel
All I wanted was just to get a clue
To a dream which I thought will suit
My aspired accolades which I felt was due.

I imagined if I could see beyond it
Then remembered the sky is not my limit
It seemed to be like an irrational fit
Covered with challenges and plights.

All together, I decided to fly
With caution, attention and to ply
Through hurdles which were like a Nile
And obstacles which as a fox sly.
With strength, I got to the fit,
Where my dreams could be achieved
And no one could bring it down with any .

The Tensed Environment

THE TENSED ENVIRONMENT. 
Hurdles come in between
My teaching and preaching
About keeping and maintaining
The beauty of my horizon.
	
Little did I know
That my thoughts were unknown
To my users whom I bestowed
My body and soul.

I have been trying everything within me 
To make them understand what I mean
But they all seem to be numbs and indeed
A caricature of failure and mischief.

Only if they could feel
All that I experience and see
Due to their impelling deeds
Destroying the span of my fit.


My eyes bleeds tears
My mouth murmurs fear
That I might lose the care
My users promised to share.

All they think of is to struggle
To gain all what they can handle
Forgetting I am facing the hurdles
Which is entangled in their struggle.

I just wish the next generation
Will for the sake of affiliation
Use my already grotesques condition
In a way I will be full of admiration.
