Downfall

Fall and rise are part of life, few give up yet some learn and stand tall...

Downfall

All dream-destinies for a better tomorrow

Turn ideas into reality, huge loans they borrow

Troubles knock everyone’s door, you’re not alone

Look around, feel unheard cries; World…full of sorrow

When success comes and hits life
everyone is utterly on different skies
even those whom we never knew, are close
Time seems frozen, life turns as a beautiful red rose

Life can throw you in smoldering hell
all the doors clogged, no path left to dwell
Sitting petrified, bitter memories with prosaic soul
world tarnished, money vanished, no one to propel

Deep, dark thoughts running in our minds
Sometimes find a way to abolish your soul
To the misery stuck on you, nothing left for fight
Was this the reason we touched opulent heights

Everyone hates, blame, curses, enjoy abusing you
Even your own self in its own way, is annoyed too
Magic of life is going back in time, watching movies
Often sad, some fun and few packed with glories

How can the world disregard, wondrous histories we made

 myriad lives we touched, flaming sun we provided shades
We only thought to make the world better place
Now they look at us with abhorrence, our hard work has fade

Yesterday squandering millions, today not a single penny
damn felt blessed with her presence, first one left was Jenny
Tensions start pummeling brain, merely luxury left was smoking

 Lifestyle revolutionized so swiftly, strange mystery left provoking

99% of life is painted with poignant tales
1% of life brings us magic of feeling ecstatic 
consider failure God’s wish, accept without malice
Downfall an eradicator, its life's we’ve to gracefully face

 

It’s not only you, history is full of characters

One day they were king, next in vagrant’s attire

Treasures are left where they belong

All they took with them was their dirty desires

Destiny is not a fickle thing... What is weak is man's ability to understand it. We can lose ourselves, stepping backwards into the rapid-moving river of fate, and be lashed by emotions on the way, and then drown in circumstances beyond our control. But despite this, there's value in human determination. You've touched on many things in this poem, friend, but these themes are what stood out for me. Keep writing.

Life has so many twists and turns...we all just need to learn to move with it and learn from the many lessons we are dealt.

I enjoyed this one.

You have achieved “bizarreness” in all its glory! Due to your capability of turning something into something that almost terrifies me.

[A. Amos]

Thank you my dear...

The poem starts out amazingly with "all dreams-destinies for a better tomorrow," and only builds with magnificent lines such as "How can the world disregard, wondrous histories we made myriad lives we touched, flaming sun we provided shades/We only thought to make the world better place/Now they look at us with abhorrence, our hard work has fade". Really gave me a vivid sense of the passage of time, and especially the line, "It’s not only you, history is full of characters"--this is a beautiful poem and extremely insightful.

Thank you Grogan...

[Illuminatix]

This is magnificent... Truly a master piece

"All dream-destinies for a better tomorrow
Turn ideas into reality, huge loans they borrow
Troubles knock everyone’s door, you’re not alone
Look around, feel unheard cries; World…full of sorrow"

What an opening.....

[A. Amos]

Thank you Illuminatix...

[A Simple Story]

"Dirty desires" is startling in its accuracy. I admire the progressive movement of the poem, especially the way it reaches critical mass in the context of a natural world.
