Life Cycle

Early morning I have to wake up and catch the train.
Distance long and crowd among, early start the only way
Mortgaged soul, lend heart and invested brain 
 
Up to this journey what I've lost and what is gain
Calculated not what I posses and what to pay
Mortgaged soul, lend heart and invested brain  

Daily spin the words, infertile ideas I toil to explain
They call me *babu, office assistant you better say
Early morning I have to wake up and catch the train.

Contrary policies and balance to maintain
Malice, greed, pride sharp word spikes and I’m the prey
Mortgaged soul, lend heart and invested brain  

You know the story of rabbit visiting lion’s den
Heap of bones, going in foot prints no signs out way 
Early morning I have to wake up and catch the train.

Call it cycle of life or the destruction chain
Earning sources, Means of livelihood taking lives away 
Early morning I have to wake up and catch the train.
Mortgaged soul, lend heart and invested brain  


First time exprimenting with Villanelle  poetic form. comments are welcome!
babu is a common word for  office clerk   in India

Best Wishes

on his wedding day
Half opened thorn-less rose buds
Plucked too soon from bush
