Failures



Failures

Failures are normal
But failing is wilt of valour.

At age five you fail with longings
At ten you fail to get mumma's time
At fifteen fail to get a fair admire
At twentyfive fail to get a job of choice
It goes on and on.

But there is a secret pleasure in it.
At five you get Mumma's love
Fifteen , a teen age love.
Twentyfive a real love afront.
But failures are failures.

Dreaming girls fail the realities
Career ones lose the family ties.
Failure in love life lifts the sober mood
Longing for women enslaves pitiful.

Failures are normal realities
Features apart, a stepping stone
Achive and acquire the world lost.
Some failures are crazy creations.

Sobbing mind can't accept.
Sorcerer's word is not a binding force.
Pin,bin and win the lost encounter.
'Cos you are still in the reckoning.

Solace the mind to recoup.
Soldiers always see the tunnel end
Socialise to see a crowd ahead
Sensitise the moves to win around.

Failures are not a drag on.
Failures are here to stay.
All inventions owe its base to failures
Of broken heart and mind
Of enduring cannons of valour.
Be sportive to accept failures.
Without failures no winning.

Winner takes it all
But it is the losers' world to chill.
Profanity binds the culpable
Pitch the lost in black and white.

Failures transcend the geopolity
Fair enough to eschew modernity
Floor the same with caution
Forget that the time and tide won't wait.
