A Poor Traveler Poem by Modina Akter

'A POOR TRAVELER"

A traveler is walking but
doesn't know where his path will end.
The end of path can be good
or can be bad.
But he goes on.
Along the way he has to make friends
both the rose and the thorn.
It is uncertain whether the rose wants him well.
It can not said that
the thorn always harms him.
His will cannot stop his movement.
If he does not take one step,
he cannot take another step even if he wants to.

He cannot slow down or speed up his pace.
Many more pedestrians are walking like him.
But everyone's path is not same.

Everyone is different
in money and energy
But the condition is the same
Because it is life.....
