Perseverence Poem by Mamta Agarwal

Perseverence

Rating: 4.0


Sharing
A one room
Tenement,
He toiled
When the family slept.

He sat
On the kitchen floor,
And did his calculations
On the bare floor,
With a piece of charcoal.

Calm resolve on his face,
Couldn’t care less
What the others
Had to say to demotivate.

He had a vision.
Dearth of means
Didn’t waver,
Him from his decision.

Despite ridicule,
He carried on with a smile.
Nothing could stop
Him from reaching the top.

Soon his time came,
He too had
A shot
At success and fame.
Taught his children
Hard work always pays.

Now
Everyone comes
To felicitate
And
Ask for favours.

PERSEVERENCE is what this present generation lacks! By trying to grasp & grab everything all at once, - with all tempting offers of credit cards & loans; life gets all the more compounded, as this generation becomes more an more entangled! I tried to touch upon this subject in my poem, -The Frankestine Of Materialism! Mamta's poem should be taken seriously! - RAJ NANDY
