ENTANGLED
Believed
in me principle followed,
Life
provided opportunities enough,
Friend's
envy witnessed my success,
Knew
hard labor pays ultimately,
Poor
background, merit helped a lot,
Got
immense help from society,
Provided
me necessary funds to study,
Never
asked anything in return,
These
Godly faces disappeared slowly,
Gradual
my aspiring heart asked more,
Surprised
God willing obtained timely,
The
education gave titles suffixes,
Career
noteworthy skewed sharply,
Looking
back on my upbringing in a slum,
Poor
parents laborers very rare,
Wish
their child to get educated,
Provided
due care and love shelter,
Never
felt hunger and trouble,
Success
in school and scholarship,
Brought
immense relief to parents,
I
found a philanthropic source on merit,
By
whom I could see life established,
The
long story each day I bemused,
But
fortunate, fate decided,
High
profile careerist contemplates,
In
silence, watched costly gadgets,
Never
believed I could possess,
Today
I have bungalow shiny costly,
Disbelief
friends, visible aloofness,
Doubt
in their mind If be recognized,
I
love my root, old friends are gold,
Simple
heart, innocently willing to help,
Telling
my story, I find help friend,
The
greatest solace, peace of my mind,
Faithful
to the people I grew up with,
There
was the girlfriend from my school,
I
helped her with higher studies,
Unmarried
research-scholar felt obliged,
We
keep our friendship intact,
I
find in life my life partner rich,
From
a wealthy family established,
She
was beautiful, educated too,
Loved
my merit, less background,
We
get married, family life is sweet,
Here
we find our lacking childless,
My
wife was desperate for a child,
For
years medical science tried,
She
conceived a child, fruitful,
On
the day of delivery, the sad news,
The
child and mother could not survive,
Long
was operation only the failure,
I
disbelieved this incident for a few days,
A
gradual change I could not detect,
Border
of madness felt life is ending,
Gave
everything I had to relatives,
Left
my home the time was so depressing,
I
roamed the streets alone, cried out for her,
Hoped
against hope, she will return,
Searched
the dead-of-night corner of streets,
Madly
sleeping in the street.
One
day my girlfriend collected me,
Sheltered
me with food, clothes,
Entangled
to her sympathy passing time,
Years
passed looked at the calendar,
Entangle
sad life miraculously survived.
