An abounded soul in this swifted world
Moves slowly through the speedy road
Ravenous stomach cries to him
Idle pocket disappoints him
Like a vagabond he looked around
A rattrap he is in!!!
He searched for some money to feel
He need to heel!!
He saw a board hanged on a boutique
He asked the owner of the boutique
Job offered for salesman!!
Job demanded the knowledge in trends & fashion!!
The man without a passion
How he know about the fashion
These words of the vagabond
Made the owner to reject the vagabond!!
With a smile in his lips
With tears in his eyes
He walked away
Far away to the narrow road!!
Soon, he saw another board
White letters on black board
Industriously he reached to the owner
Owner asked to lift the cargo
Legs without the strength to hold my body
Can it lift the cargo?
Please give me something to strengthen me….
Greedy fatty owner with a look said-
No job! No money!
You go out!!
He started roaming again!
Sun went to bath
Moon came after bath
At an unnoted corner of the crowded city
Vagabond fell down his eyes are closing
Soon a thought araised …
In this antonyms world
The unknown knowledge should pretend to be known!!!
Here ends a sleepless, hopeless, helpless life!!
What a waste…!!
What a fate….!!

Very interesting. And like they say, exude a confidence you do not feel [just make sure you can back it, I say.].
Poor fellow, you have made him good for nothing......I hate to leave him in such a case, but it is I fear the fate of some. I prefer not to think so.
ya.... but this is what happens in my city....... if u want to live here u had to pretend that u know what u dont know......
Ya, and my naivety wants to blythely believe that it is kinder elsewhere....your city, everywhere, and I vainly wish 'twere otherwise.
