Shreds us the life <br />With bruises and cuts <br />Our days run rife <br />In the ifs and buts! <br /> <br />If the day was bright <br />If hadn't fallen rain <br />If quickly passed the night <br />If living was no pain! <br /> <br />But the day was a mess <br />But the winds blew harsh <br />But time was hard pressed <br />But cloud hid the stars! <br /> <br />If happened how we need <br />If they all smoothly clicked <br />If luck came with speed <br />If clock slowly ticked! <br /> <br />But things ran amok <br />But nothing went right <br />But faced a roadblock <br />But fortune took flight! <br /> <br />Tear us apart the ifs and buts <br />Do steal away all happiness <br />Wound our life with bruises and cuts <br />Alas for them we have no redress!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ifs-and-buts-3/
