Having coffee at his backyard
while sipping very little drop,
The man at his age of thrive,
was reflecting closely on his bygone life.
Once he was a young man
helping his father in the field
happy and cheerful in his village
that was giving fertile yield.
People cared for others
lived like a family one.
songs of the birds, winds from trees
evening get togethers all were in unison.
A curse was near
thus came a drought
such dreadful the endemic
all life came to a nought.
bonded by destiny
he left the village for city.
Thus he came with dreams
of having a better future
worked hard day by day, night by night
started flowing with the stream.
A place he got in the city's heart
higher position thus his skill bought.
While on city's journey he gained a lot,
but somewhere his innocence & emotions lost
he became so busy in achieving materialistic goal
thus left his friend his worthy village soul.
