Something Bitter

something bitter
so bitter
if at all
does not kill you at once
and if you swallow it
and still survive
all the bitterness in every leaf
a day
another day
a night
and another night
till you sweat things out
just like any other game of life
by all means
i salute you

shake my hand my friend
welcome, this is our new world now.
