EXPECTATION

It's a quiet night

So beautiful shines the light,

A expectant father

A hopeful mother

They prayed together

Showered love on one another

They worked harder 

To make their life easier...

Then came a baby

That made them so happy,

This was in the early 80's

Now a contrary in this century;

Where has love gone to

This was real hirtherto,

Ooh this sweet feelings...

Has been crushed by the world dealings!

Now lies pain and hatred 

This wasn't so expected,

No time for smile

No smile any time;

Those times are now memories.

In the 21th century

A bitter time of agony

Now it's time to share the story...

If happy ever after, exist,

Then they will still, be happy as "this"

Those love songs were fairy tales;

Not as they did actually, everyday feast.

See the realities of life...

How bitter men strive!

Always wanting to be better 

Than the man next door.

This is a market,

Where we all buy and sell,

Not to be idle, and put hands in our pocket,

Else we will be locked in the masters cell.

So as they grew older,

love died after,

they were once soul-mates

but now they are perfect room-mates.

How then can one predict the future

Without having the temperance to incure

What the world have to feature

In this blur picture.

They had great expectations

It appeared in their expressions

Alas! they had few appreciations

For the few granted applications

The child born in happiness

Now grew up in despair

Tormented by fear!

He was strong; but weaked by hopelessness.

Husband and wife, 

Became brother and step-sister

See what life can bear!

Their expectations coundn't stand the tide.
