Transience

Transience 

—
You think you’re inevitable,
Without whom, nothing moves,
You think, you’re undeniable
You do and undo the troops..

You think, you are the identity
Without which all may fail!
You think, you’ll win always
And all there with will hail!

But alas! ‘Time’s winged chariot’
That turns kings into laymen!
Discolors the might and grandeur
Rich ones become poor men!

At time comes when you do leave
From a place did thou oft live!
None & nothing waits for you
What you receive, you do give..

Such transience is all our fame
Such ‘bubble-like’ is reputation,
To everything there is alternative,
Everything fades, faces abolition!

Time records all how do we act
It does do and it does undo all,
Neither lives audacity not do pride
Indeed, pride goes before fall..
