Life's changeable squares

nothing is permanent in life

 

night..that dark black huge dress

with both the good and the bad are hidden beneath

people...most of them are at their homes

but many are still..homeless

some have been to their beds

but some are sleepless

some are enjoying a company

while some are suffering from loneliness

some are cuddling with their lovers

while some are thinking of lovers they miss

some are satisfied with their lives

while others' lives are in a mess

some are feeling relaxed

but some are under heavy stress

some are praising life's sweetness

others are complaining from its bitterness

for some, money is in piles

others are in bad need for one pence

 

what a diverse

in such a universe

each one thinks it is his or hers

while really they are just tiny squares

today you are in a square of happiness

tomorrow you move to a square of sadness

today you are useful and in focus

tomorrow you are neglected, useless

today you may be cheap

tomorrow you may become pricelss

 

just be wise

look out of your square

see those over there

if they are suffering,

pay some care

try to share

if today you are safe, tomorrow you maybe insecure

Infinity likes.....it's absolutely true & really very much depressed about the people's condition there..but i know He will set everything right soon..i liker the comparison you mentioned.

[Lina Grey]

Great, meaningful poem. True how things change for everyone all the time, and I like the comparison to standing on various squares, it made me think we're all in a board game, like Monopoly or Life, just watching how our dice roll. I'm aware of the situation in your country, even though I live nowhere near it, and I can understand your inspiration. Insightful write. Thank you.

Salam ya habibi, kif halak? I really enjoyed reading....im aware to the situation in your country...Tahrir became a riot zone but ull get over it. I myself live 15 mins from egypt. By the way, i have a tattoo of anubis :)

Good job!

[EMMIE]

Great imagery!

[Virtuosa X]

This is such a inspiring write. Describes the differences and diversity of the world which some don't seem to notice.
Nice job!

[Destinyxi]

Nice write, I like how you're comparing in the first stanza, and rhyming in the second. I never thought of lifes emotions as squares, good job!

[Suditi]

Such a beautiful theme.
The last stanza especially. The message is loud and clear and true.
The last line man!!! Wow.
It is true. We aren't confined to just one square.. nobody is eternally happy or sad..loved or neglected..confident or low.. In different phases, we are in different squares.
I love the idea of the poem.
A very well written piece.
