BITTERNESS

 

BITTERNESS

 

Effulgence position and status,

Busiest life at the zenith, frivolous,

Starry nights city hotel imbibe,

Mingles with lives discuss vibe,(1)

 

Show to the glittering lives stay,

Far from wine women to betray,

Different world money cements,

Checkmated cruelly, irk scents, (2)

 

The wheel ball in the slot that exists,

Roulette played millions lost list,

Earned overnight billion shares,

Drunken life luxury millionaires, (3)

 

One of the nameless spirals rises,

Worthless the world lives prize,

Believe Glass Towers fleet of cars,

Hundred of servant past is a scar, (4)

 

Don't ask past life ignominious,

Reluctant to confess, gets furious,

Parents educated fought divorce,

Left at the road, beast of course, (5)

 

Memory Lane, a blind alley hunt,

Fails to escape from past taunt,

Begged on the road, slept open,

Tattered clothes hungers torn, (6)

 

Missionary rescued me, I study,

Education gift of Lord a melody,

Won from those years succeed,

What is poverty money, I read, (7)

 

Never could forget humiliation,

Insult, assault, hatred, emotion,

Cried to none lonely nights sad,

Questioned a human birth mad, (viii)

 

No answer, wait endless patience,

Bitterness ingrained so nascent,

Single, no one in my life mature,

I live every day, save money here, (9)

 

Future hopeful, confident leads,

Bitterness may cripple, breed,

Life provides opportunities now,

Have patience, wait, time show, (10)

 

Seldom confess, convey, confide,

Bitterness past remnant reside,

The grace of the Lord forgets memories,

The raw wound of the heart series. (11)
