Claps and Whistles <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Every effort of mine went to fail <br /> <br />I did them well with my whole heart <br /> <br />They went to fail and made me to cry <br /> <br />I have given my strain and time to win <br /> <br />I was placed as a looser before fools <br /> <br /> and vagabonds <br /> <br />They laughed and scolded me to my loss <br /> <br />I have been defeated, yes <br /> <br />I have been defeated by Him and Time <br /> <br />What for? and <br /> <br />Why did I have been pushed? <br /> <br />To the hell of my failure <br /> <br />I asked Him repeatedly <br /> <br />Mute is a reply received from Him <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> There is a garland came to head <br /> <br /> for my historic victory in my field <br /> <br /> Claps and whistles placed me in the <br /> <br /> Heaven of fame <br /> <br /> There I received His reply as claps and <br /> <br /> Whistles<br /><br />SAKTHI RAVICHANDRAN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/claps-and-whistles/
