GHOST WRITTEN STORY OF LIFE
Book is filled with many chapters,
Flip through one, another comes after,
Some pages induced us to laughter,
Some are destined to end in disasters.
Many big losses and some small gains,
Frustrations and resultant pains,
Some thrills ran through our veins,
As we rode through life without reins.
Some torn pages with faded ink,
Under the weight of emotions, we sink,
In between, we find a missing link,
But ink was never ours, we shudder to think.
Some chapters of life remained untouched,
Some mysteries are undisclosed,
Some partly written, lying unfinished,
Ah, some are totally messed.
We merely hold pens in our hands,
It is scratching pages, not at our commands,
Story is ours, ghost written by other minds,
We are left with only title to find!!
