COMMENSURATE

 

COMMENSURATE

 

Alone, tearful, searching the past,

Why windless sky less bird cast,

Waves roaring, crashing at the beach,

Repentance endless sadly breach, (1)

 

End of the road lost direction life,

Confuse why suffering, faces strife,

Got praise applause profusely lit,

Melted the morning mist a defeat, (2)

 

Avoided kept aloof opposed a lot,

Honesty, integrity, less pay hurt,

Has not committed crimes, insult,

Etched the life services to efforts, (3)

 

Marginalized corrupt the guises,

Adored public deeds, no excuses,

Solitary life today, un-apologetic,

Missed friends, family, pathetic, (4)

 

Friends angry, abused, opposed,

The family hardly liked, supposed,

Branded as a fool exhibitionist,

Adamant, arrogant, spends list, (5)

 

Similar to the wave from zenith,

Crashing at shore retract drift,

The same thing happened, sock,

Fallen senseless at shore broke, (6)

 

Crowds gathering found lifeless,

Soul merged like wave impress,

No sight of family or friends present,

The population of the city cry, resent, (7)

 

 

Flower bedecked road showering,

A crowd watches, socked and crying,

Burning the pyre crowd around,

Ash merged with river, profound, (viii)

 

Commemorate public date of birth or death,

Public speech, writing, link wealth,

Living today in hearts memories,

Commensurate golden deed series, (9)

 

Inspired many youths, followed,

Commensurate discussion vowed,

Presentable, decent life to educate,

Lighted knowledge indoctrinate, (10)

 

Praying poverty-stricken mass,

Commensurate achieves' task,

Matching exemplary model life,

Commensurate, candlelit, thrive. (11)
