Life is a long journey <br />But the terrain is not at all smooth <br />Full of uncertainties <br />Ups and downs <br />And we are to move ahead. <br /> <br />Your journey begins with white liquor <br />Giving full energy like nectar in life <br />To continue journey against all odds <br />And to achieve the desired goal. <br /> <br />As you are grown up, <br />With the influence of friends <br />The colour of liquors changes slowly <br />From white to yellowish and ultimately reddish. <br /> <br />You are lying on a roadside now <br />In a midway of your journey <br />With a reddish liquor scattered nearby <br />To have your last breath. <br /> <br />Alas! A beautiful journey starts with a <br />White bottle of liquor given by your mom <br />Ends with reddish bottle gifted by friends <br />Only the colour changes as does the end!<br /><br />Bireswar Halder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colour-changes-life/
