When His Life Was At The Nadir

An air of melancholy surrounded him..

It was evident from his doldrum and grim

He left his kith and kin to chase his dream

But his peers butchered his self-esteem

Bewildered and aghast, he winced in pain

Feeling shattered he looked down in disdain

Have humans become so cruel for sadistic elation

When will the reign of egotism reach culmination

He fumed at the whimsical arbitrariness of autocracy

He was tired of fighting against hypocrisy

He wanted to quit and end it all

But his tenacity and perseverance saved him from this fall

He mustered the courage to be the David of Goliath's story

For he believed the predicament to be hunky-dory

He wrung every inch of his soul to harness positivism

In the end, he rediscovered the power of his raison d'etre and individualism.

And now, he was again calm, composed, and unstirred by the strife

Ready to take on anyone meddling with his life

He believed in his virtuosity, panache, and elan

And trusted life's virtue that nepotism is worthless for cynics in heaven
