Dull seems the season
boring since no reason
watching as idle by
nothing
but holding a rod by
to yesterday’s Sunday time
when did it become lifetime
hooked is the bait
bait for the ticking fate
when shall fate be kind
to catch a wealthy fish passing by
to catch the prawn of success
to catch the fish of gold
do I sound materialistic ?
fishing as idling by
guessing the best strategy to catch by
patience is the key
a patience of lifetime
be diligent to mankind
fishing with numerous thoughts in mind
how can you hold the steady line ?
come to the pond of fate
the pond of divinity that is laid
but remember to leave the burdens at home
cause happiness can’t live without peace on its own
holding the steady ink of rod
placing the brush in strokes
while the arms pain for standing all the time by the lane
writing on numerous sheets
reading and remembering the screen
like the fish in the pond
the marks on the sheet
heart wishes to catch as by as it can please
the more fishes in basket
pleases the stomach
the more marks on sheet
appeases the ambitions
the one with highest fishes wins the deal
makes up high on auction list
the one with highest recommendations
wins the race
makes on the Forbes list
only difference it seems
yesterday you were fishing
today those MNCs
seems to fishing you, it seems
the predator turned into prey
beware please
now what remains to speak…

Best lines of the poem

Thanks a lot dear Rozina and i am glad I could connect with you.
Love the analogy between fishing and life. I personally saw it as a metaphor for writing.
"holding the steady ink of rod
placing the brush in strokes"
"the more fishes in basket
pleases the stomach
the more marks on sheet
appeases the ambitions"
