CIRCUS – TRUTH OF LIFE (Poem) - An effort by : Raja Talib
http://www.sapulse.com/new_
One never knows about his future health.
2. People who are money-minded, selfish and greedy,
God hates these people and makes them needy.
3. One should be humble and treat all equal,
Life is a cycle and definitely has a sequel.
4. People after attaining their dreams and wishes,
Think themselves whale among the fishes.
5. Life is not a race, which you need to win,
It is a wheel, which has multiple spin.

During the summer season in Kanpur city,
The temperature was high with very low humidity.
There was no chance of light rain,
People were repenting for the unbearable pain.
!!
God was in anger, government was too,
Government introduced new rules, god blew loo.
People were perplexed in the extreme conditions,
They haven’t faced in past such severe conditions.
III
Like the temperature, the new rules were tough,
People were tensed, they became indiscipline and rough.
There was unemployment and people had no work purpose,
So a group of people started in an area, a mini circus.
IV
The circus was organised in a dusty play ground,
Participants were illiterate and penury was found.
The circus was to run for days total seven,
Participants needed energy and powers of heaven.
V
A rope was tied in a forty feet diameter,
There was a host, two dancers and one squeaker.
The platform was beautifully decorated with lights,
After all the stunts were to be performed seven days and nights.
VI
The squeaker was ready to perform the stunt,
He was standing at a corner, smoking the blunt.
He had to ride bicycle seven days and nights continuously,
He sat on the bicycle expertly and assiduously.
VII
He rode the cycle and had no fear,
Cycling needs courage, energy, sweat and tear.
Noticing the stunt regularly for seven days,
My heart throbbed, depressive feeling emerged in rays.
VIII
For the audience, it was mere entertainment,
But for him, it was a job of nature permanent.
Never one should boast of his limited wealth,
One never knows about his future health.
IX
People who are money-minded, selfish and greedy,
God hates these people and makes them needy.
One should be humble and treat all equal,
Life is a cycle and definitely has a sequel.
X
People after attaining their dreams and wishes,
Think themselves whale among the fishes.
Life is not a race, which you need to win,
It is a wheel, which has multiple spin.
