The Wisdom Oration

A big, barren field lying all gloomy,

Asked to the passing-by wind:

"O wise wind! Tell me why'm I not happy;

If you know the reason, please give a hint

The past lore was cheery without any mishap,

But now time has definitely set a trap.


"Till yesterday I held proudly a fair,

Men, folk, lads roaming: all very cheer,

But now I'm barren and none spare a stare,

Outrun by my state I add to my luck a sneer.

Tell me, what is it?

If not my misfortune, then what is it?"


The wind by his wisdom gave an advice:

"My dear friend, don't blame your luck.

Fortune is continuously playing its dice,

It shows both good and bad luck.

You were prosperous until yesterday,

Don't worry; time'll show your day.


"If each day were a Sunday, it would lose its worth,

Perform your duties and prosper your birth.

Good and bad times are life's slides,

Just like the faces on a coin's two sides.

Remember, life's full of ups and downs,

And the the darkest hour is just before dawn."
