THE RUDDERLESS BOAT

 

THE RUDDERLESS BOAT

 

Unfulfilled desires and dreams hurt,

The direction or purpose of life, lost,

Humans search, destiny, and puzzle,

Fame and fortune, pseudo, dazzle, (1)

 

 

Fate, the synonym of fallacy, changes,

From the rag to riches, time amazes,

Humans build mansions, sell quickly,

Gold and diamond lose hand unluckily (2)

 

 

Name and fame, applause resounds,

Aloof, lonely, repentance surrounds,

Misses consolation guidance moves,

The mind thoughtless sails removes, (3)

 

 

Why should humans feel gloomy, say?

Opportunity lies ahead, hopes display,

The silhouette of a boatman, sunrise,

Netting solutions, clues, find precise, (4)

 

 

Life is not an ocean of sorrow, aspire,

The seed sprouts in the heart. desires,

Implement fruitful actions to guide life,

From the turbulent water, rock, strife, (5)

 

 

Salvage ruined life, misfortune events,

Consolidate strength, build no lament,

Defy the obstacles, proceed or defiant,

Success is written on foreheads, instant, (6)

Bright sunlight, glorious future invites,

Victory, not fantasy, the reality excites,

By the dusk sun sinks, western sky tells,

A day belongs to humans, hopes dwell, (7)

 

 

Many a dream, frustration, crumbles,

The rudderless boat stabilized rumble,

Achieves the purpose of life, a mission,

Contemplate the phase boat in motion. (viii)
