PAIN...

have we ever wondered...
about the meaning of an oft repeated word,
have we ever taxed our brain...
what's the real essence of the term,pain??

it infects every soul
in every heart it digs a hole
yet,none can explain it with conviction
because each version appears to be a figment of imagination

to the rich,it's the loss of few pieces of gold...
for the glamorous,its the fear of getting old,
the daily battles for a square meal,for the poor
pain for the elderly is the feeling that his days with the loved ones, are getting fewer

everyone thinks his pain is the most...
"i have suffered a lot",they all boast,
but how can one really compare suffering??
which spares none,be it the pauper,or the king

losers accept it as their fate
"i am destined to suffer",they state...
other mortals fight it out,albeit unsuccessfully,throughout their lives,till the end...
but the one who bucks this trend,
to overcome grief,and achieve his aim
is the one,the world salutes,as a LEGEND!
