The Saying

Info

They said that infinity was the quest-

Whose attainment provided grace.

They said that purpose was the Holy grail,

Which remains lost after Templar attempts.

They said that friends were maggots-

Who benefit from the apple's growth.

For every gamble you win...

You'll lose twice they said.


A casual visitor would have been dazed.

And lose purpose to move-

His thoughts devoid of hopes,

He'd eventually  lose his soul.

Inferiority would be his forte...

Comebacks however hard he makes.

Morbid sorrow would engulf his heart-

To voices,"Loser, you would surely fail."


He said, however, said to wait and stoop....

For the world is all ours to conquer.

Fears are friends who are misunderstood-

As life contains both evil and good.

Be the  newer version of the old you-

For no one waits for you to win,

Don't listen to them- the haters.

For you go farther than you think.

Not a great work. But I guess that is decent enough.
