Kranthi Pothineni - Hard Truth

I am in my lonely courtyard
Wondering on lives bombard
Those made me look retard
Then came a lovely postcard
It’s my loves wedding card

I read its content very hard
With my spirit of diehard
And looked at churchyard
While smiling on the reward
I just received from my lord

I walked on the muted ward
Along with lives broken word
Which my heart can’t discard
Slowly realized it got scarred
That works as my lifeguard

Now I have no regard
Felt life is like a schoolyard
Were I should play and guard
From the lives blackguard
And to make myself starred

It’s my learning from tarred
Made my heart like shard
Even to rise from graveyard
Pal I learned to safeguard
Myself from this world’s yard
