Faran Khalid - * A Marathon Between Life And Time

The embryos
Shape into life
Like seeds
Grow into trees.
In the era of survival,
Home sapiens live
With different patterns.
Some like weeds
Consumed diversely,
Some like roots
Spread in strolling directions,
Some like fallen leaves
Make the soil fertile
And some like trunks
That shadow the land.


Vitality is a burden
With loads of work
And no rest.
Mishaps, broken hearts,
Cracked souls.
Pleasant memories,
Joys and cherishes,
All are competing
In the marathon of time.
Moments ripple
Make us cripple.
We try and try
To stand up and fight
Till we die.
