Span of Life

Come; rise and stand before we sleep forever.
Act now; dream now; pursue your passion;
The eternal truth leaves none, fool or clever,
Waits that for everyone- the inevitable ‘Passion.’

Set your eyes to the aim,
Put life in your name,
Fame you get or not,
Crave not for some defame!

Truth, that people love life so dearly.
In their loving, they lose it nearly!
Left are the ‘wise’ pursuits and they fall
In their graves, to that, they throughout stroll!

Rise; before your fall abrupt to decay
And come on the mirth in a new way…
