Decided to leave

Decided to leave
But was forced to live
No faith but lead to believe
For unbearable pain to relieve

I thought to have competition with crocodile
But someone said it is not proper meanwhile
Either you live in water as good neighbor
Or step out of it and then harbor

People were right at every stage
They had ready made arguments on page
I was not prepared to follow those idioms
They were not suiting to my realms

What will I do then to survive?
Make life difficult to live?
Come out of it and make bold move
Well first of all I had to prove]

“Fortune favors the brave”
This appealed me when I drove
All ideas gathered in mind
Somewhere I had to land and find

I must be like them if I had to prolong
I must match with their tune and song
What is wrong if you follow as fool?
At least no danger when you want to remain cheerful

Life is meant to eat and live aimlessly
Whole of years are to be spent successively
No one may take not of your sacrifice
Even if that was for the sake of keeping promises

Millions may be living with same ideology
No one can subdue or force with any bogey
It is set pattern for human being to slowly react
Live comfortably and nicely act

After all they say once in thousand years
Some prophets descend on earth and spell in ears
Give some lessons on morals and high living
We may go on endlessly thereafter quarrelling
