Life is like an endless pain to bear with smile
Relief may come to man in trouble for a while
Under tension becomes difficult to reconcile
How can one escape from this rut for a while
It is just but a series of tests to really ascertain
In the process one has to lose, one has to gain
It is a chain of odds linked with pain after pain
At times it affects heart and at times just brain
Love is only passion which tries to just sooth
In all this falsehood it remains the only truth
It affects more in old age than in real youth
Life is merciless and it is but ruthlessly ruth
