Glory

About Poem: I consider this poem to be the best of all that I have written so far. I have also got maximum applause for this. Though it is very difficult to say this poem reflects my story, I would dedicate it to all my MBA aspirant friends who couldn’t make it to good b-schools like mine. I saw them labouring like anything and at the d day everything went wrong with them. I had seen their gloomy faces at the day when results came. And I know how it felt to fail despite doing everything that you could.

GLORY

Glory! How mean thou art!

Those who for a noble cause
Giveth their life and heart
Are neither rewarded nor made up
Nor often taken their part

Not once their name recalled
Not once for them bell rung
Why are they so often forgot
Why they remain heroes unsung

Glory! How mean thou art!

Those who rest sitting away
And give orders to mar and make
Are often imposed so much of You
They neither wish nor can take

O Lord! Let just once
Justice mingled with glory
History will change itself then
There will be some other story.
