LONG ROAD

 

LONG ROAD

Witnessed famous life stories,

Staggering performances series,

Unimaginable daunting task fit.

Courage aspiration belief quite, (1)

 

Stay anonymous grass root, life,

Book of life, a long road, in strife,

Enormous self endeavor, victory, 

Not one countless brave history, (2)

 

A ticket collector in railway play,

Famous a cricket player display,

Success showers money assets,

Unknown face to known attests, (3)

 

A man at the petrol pump he serves,

In a few years, his name yet deserves to be,

Wealthy an industrialist rises steeply,

Miracle unknown face rise fully, (4)

 

A tea seller, childhood, less dream,

Fate honest working hard stream,

Overwhelm billion people believe,

Decade, he rules a country strive, (5)

 

No one knew him, unknown face,

Billion plus the nation love trace,

A child was selling newspapers,

He was the son of a fisherman poor, (6)

 

Studied merit scholarship higher,

Famous scientist of land securer,

Actor professor leader writer list,

A long road human life and tryst, (7)

 

 

Sequel to progress each step sad,

The thorn under the foot bleeds mad,

Alone, lonely life, human knows,

Bitterest fight hostile events rows, (viii)

 

The firm conviction rational steal,

Tomorrow is unbelievable, reveal,

The long road has pits, crevasses,

Challenge of life lost, not fantasy, (9)

 

Look at tall trees fight for light, try,

Weak a plant lose sunlight to die,

The long road span of life equals,

Not a deer but tortoise win visual, (10)

 

Long-road procrastination indicates,

Superstars shine phenomenal date,

The long road life finds its objective,

Short or long road human relative. (11)
