Life Of A Man Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Life Of A Man
Life is a cruel teacher
And who knows better than
The seventy years old man
Who does the shoe polishing
For his livelihood
At the age when people could barely walk
And Talk he can move so swiftly
This old man without any teeth
Without any hairs
Yet shine in his eyes
And scattered muscles
With overgrown skin
Yet his eventful eyes
Filled with tears
Can tell you
How cruel the world is
And how materialistic
His own kids are
And his wisdom said
It is only money
That keeps all relationships
No blood is so red and thick
That can remain same throughout
Without becoming white.
The stark realities of life! When people live only for money, they discard all relationships. Children neglect their aged parents and leave them to toil even in their invalid stage for earning a living!
Wonderfully narrated....Really a bitter truth......thank you for sharing :)
Sad sad line, shame that things are more important than people for some
