If only life were a battle field
You would have won it
With no armour or shield
Save by your uncommon wit
Territories would be conquered
With just your skill and brain
Though mocked even by kith and kin
That your intellect is just acquired
You left the battle field as unsung hero
You didn’t fight enough, they chatter!
Talents not showcased or bragged about,
Doubted is the intellect in your worn-out head
You walked head bowed down
For they didn't care to know
that you are a family man
who forgot to chase your precious dream..
