A Sincere Family Man's Life! Poem by Ramesh T A

Obligations are the cause for complications in life!
Duty to parents take a lion's share in the life of one;
After that, duty to children takes the rest of life sure!

When this is so, where and when is the time for one
To enjoy any pleasure and joy in life in this world?
This is the nature of life for a family man in the world!

Duty to parents is great obligation that decides one's fate;
Then till the children settle to be grown up ones in jobs,
There is no relief for a couple that becomes old parents!

The dreams and desires of one are destroyed to pieces
Once one finishes education and settles in job unsuitable;
All unsuitable situations one faces till one loses all hopes!

This is the long journey of life for a sincere person with
No hope of relief and respite from any quarter in the world!
