A Commoner's Uncommon Refrain

It is the universal law of nature

That you entered alone and

That you will exit alone.

Rest is transient

With life in transition

One season to another

In the way, structured

Is society

As a pyramid

Few will lead

For rest to follow.

Masses will always toil

For the rulers to take the spoil

Many isms have gone by

Commoners have remained passerby.

Reigns of kings have always left a blood trail

Of the common soldiers

Widows and fatherless children.

Yet the kings make a high note in history

And the commoners, not even a footnote.

God or the Guru

Gadgets they are

For instant gratification

In a 2- minute oodles of

Genuflection.

Philosophies suck

Meant for the masses

Without any pluck.

A life- long trend that

Which you cannot buck.

Live for the moment

Leave aside the foment

For in the long run

You alone will trend.
