The Challenges: Life Poem by Dr Nihar Ranjan Ray

Who had lied you that....
Life is just like sweet dreams....
There are hurdles & thorns....
With beautiful valleys & streams.....

Just don’t try to flee.............
Avoid if you can....
But one day entangled you will be....
In the mesh, in the dirt,


Life is not just like the flower...
In the park...
It has the pleasant lights and dangerous darks....
It has the unseen pits....
Callus hearts...Oscar winning cheats........
Deaf ears...Dry nose....
Paralyzed limbs...Eyes closed.

So look how the light post stands tall..
In the dark and the night...
Learn how to fly high..in the sky....
Against the challenges..like the kite.

If you want to be the star....
than try to burn to be the star....
b coz nobody born to the star.

And one day they will see you
High in the sky.....
To belittle you those try....
On that day you will be shown..
As a star home grown....

So stand tall.....and erect
Face the hurdles that comes in the way...
And mind it an ardous task to follow....
But very easy to say.
