Self-Consolation Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Aim not fulfilled
success eludes
what you want does not happen
performance has a narrow miss
ambition takes a back seat
failures happen without any reason
the above could be taken care of
by a tonic available with us
self-consolation....
it's not a mockery
that tells, 'grapes are sour'
not a regularization of failure
not a surrender to your opponents
it's a form of wisdom
stronger than the tides of ocean
a built-in component of life
no riches shall accompany
no honour shall follow
when you leave this earth;
console yourself.....
don't wait for others
to console you
let your emotions cool down
you may be down
but not out......
future still smiling at you.
