People are like the catapult, <br />The more you pull with effort, <br />The longest distance they target. <br /> <br />People are like the rubber bands, <br />The more you twist and elongate, <br />They get snapped into bits. <br /> <br />People are like the jute, <br />They work hard all their life, <br />Get retired at their old age.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-are-you-20/
