Fool's Paradise

The river flows.

It looked happy.

So did we.

Meeting friends or dear ones.

After a long time.

Always made everyone happy.

Happiness is simplicity.

Not another explanation.

To your under- achievement.

The erosion of the remaining days.

From your life.

Makes you realize.

What a fool you have been made.

Running after the same story.

Which everyone ran.

Some used steroids.

Lost their crowns.

Others toiled hard.

Still lost their ground.

Trying to give a new angle.

But the director won't budge.

And a happy ending is not included.

At least for now.

Till you finish the race.
