Ifs And Buts Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Ifs And Buts

Rating: 5.0


Shreds us the life
With bruises and cuts
Our days run rife
In the ifs and buts!

If the day was bright
If hadn't fallen rain
If quickly passed the night
If living was no pain!

But the day was a mess
But the winds blew harsh
But time was hard pressed
But cloud hid the stars!

If happened how we need
If they all smoothly clicked
If luck came with speed
If clock slowly ticked!

But things ran amok
But nothing went right
But faced a roadblock
But fortune took flight!

Tear us apart the ifs and buts
Do steal away all happiness
Wound our life with bruises and cuts
Alas for them we have no redress!

So much truth and feeling in this poem. I guess ifs and buts are just excuses - or maybe explanations we can accept when things don't go smoothly for us. Can we live without ifs and buts? Great job on this poem!
