=============
Endeavoring to realize
Our short spell of mortal life,
With umpteen wishes, mostly eluding us
And compelling us to cry! !
With so many things, left to be done
But ultimately being left undone,
This Life itself is so cruel
But still has to be carried on.
We live this life with blistering pains,
Sufferings and sorrows,
Still we all are dreaming
For some better tomorrows.
There is no solution to it,
Yet, we are to agree with them,
This is the life that we lead,
Being in the fire on a burning oven! !
Though this life blossoms as usual
But very sparingly it flourishes with joy,
And nobody knows how and when
This will take a ‘U'turn and move towards the end.
This is the life that we lead,
Being so unknown till that ends! !

Great message in this poem, Amitava! ! It is very compelling indeed and so true to life! We never know about life as we go on living it to the end. Give this poem a 10+. Thank you, Amitava! !
Yes, human life is very unpredictable! It is a mixture of sorrow and joy with sorrow predominating! But we have to live on hoping that good days will come! Life can take a U turn at any time! Those who are very happy may be suddenly hurled into misfortune! So we can possibly expect a reversal of fate even if we are depressed at the moment! A very realistic presentation of life, Amitava!
Thanks for a realistic poem. The life of an ordinary man has so little to celebrate and so much to rue and cry about. There is so much sorrow and pain in our lives as you have rightly assessed: With so many things, left to be done / But ultimately being left undone, .. / This is the life what we lead /Being in the fire on a burning oven! !

Wow, such a sad poem. I was there a few years ago, I guess it was called depression. Your poem expresses so clearly very much the way I felt. It is so hard to escape, but it can be done, but if it can then life 'flourishes with joy'. Here is wishing everyone joy. Darla :)
