The Vicious Circle of Life
All it takes is an ‘expectation’
To get started in life, an intense anticipation
Just a vision into the future and you’re ready
Walking towards your goal, careful and steady.
Soon you open doors to the world of the ‘enthusiastic’
To touch the zenith now seems so pragmatic
Filled with zeal, energy and pep
You unknowingly drive to the next step.
You stop dreaming, ahead you shoot
It is this phase of ‘effort’ that bears the fruit
Painstakingly you work, like the ants
You go on and on, till your heart pants.
The work done is now presented
To the world, to be evaluated
The time for applause and ‘appreciation’
It definitely calls for a celebration.
Everything is merry and gay
A ‘tentative happiness’, for a short while to stay
The ultimate fruit which was so keenly sought
Just for this, the battles were fought.
But the heart, after all human, is not satisfied
‘the desire for more’ is certified.
From this desire stems once again a new expectation
And so goes on the vicious circle of life, an endless proposition.
