An infant grew into a kid with joy <br />The Kid developed into a school boy <br />The Boy matured as a Youth, <br />The Same youth turned into a scholar <br />Ha! Ha! Scholar is climbing a ladder! <br /> <br />The Scholar became a poet bold, <br />The poet became a teacher for dollar! <br />The teacher flew a marathon, aftermath, <br />Having armed Ferric sword and shield of gold! <br />Ha! Ha! Poet is fighting for a ladder! <br /> <br />With the knowledge at his side! <br />Tomfoolery from the other side, <br />The poet fought a losing battle, <br />With loser as a title! <br />Ha! Ha! Ha! Poet is falling from a ladder! <br /> <br />In this world of plastic smiles with no emotions, <br />Yet smear their face with tons of lotions and potions! <br />In this world of artificiality, when the fools run a day, <br />Living with Knowledge is not a way! <br />Ha! Ha! Ha! The fool is sitting on a ladder!<br /><br />Harindhar Reddy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-fools-paradise-a-life-poem/
