The Two Cups

In two cups alike we all are served

In equal measures as each deserved

Yet each here in his way savours

And tastes the cups with unlike flavours


Some hide the joy and ham the grief

And live a life momentarily brief

And some go gaga in thrill of a flash

And pomp their insignificant stash


All that ye in life hath faced

The grieved, the failed and the disgraced

Are happier souls soon to be

The sweet of joy laid for thee


And all that ye in life hath relished

The blessed, the gifted and the cherished

Let not sobriety in thee go fade

The bitter might be the swigs ahead.
