Give up !!!

An opportunity is all you get, just take it,
whether you flutter through, or fake it.

Hallucinations, haze, you need to see through,
Clear the mist, clear the fog, you will get through.

One year, six months, troubles arise,
Blow it away, let oppurtunities flow, rise.

An idea changes life,
One oppurtunity makes up for all your life.

The music flows, encaptures and enthralls,
It will take sometime, to take care of all that is in ruptures.

It is all clean on a white board,
A blackboard needs all the chalk to fill up.

Knowledge is power they say, and everything else complements,
But what is the point , if you do not know what to implement.

To reach your zenith you would need a millenium,
Milleniums aplenty unbounded and borderless.

The whole world can turn against you,
giving you neither a spear to fight,
nor a chance to spare.

Give up !!! And you will have nothing left,
neither to spare nor any holes to bare.

Hi DJ, its been really looooooooooooong since I checked out ur blog but today that I did, I was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of new pieces on it and I have got to say this...atleast for this poem.....that you seem to outdo yourself with each successive literary exploit!!!!

The words beautifully capture the essence of your thoughts and this is undoubtedly your best piece thus far!!! My personal favourites are the following lines - never mind that its almost the entire poem!!!

"An opportunity is all you get, just take it,
whether you flutter through, or fake it."

So true.....a chance gone is a chance lost...it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, what does matter is that atleast later on, you won't have the regret that you didn't try!

"Hallucinations, haze, you need to see through,
Clear the mist, clear the fog, you will get through."

Such a creative way of speaking of obstacles as stepping stones to achieving your goal......as long as you have a vision...as long as you know where you are headed, nothing can faze you....

"An idea changes life,
One opportunity makes up for all your life."

A variation of the first line - you need to give it all one shot...you never know which idea may be the winning one!!!! And one mega win is sure to make all the effort and all the failures worth it!


"Give up !!! And you will have nothing left,
neither to spare nor any holes to bare."

Surely, this line is the crowning glory of your poem........even the framing of the sentence is so apt that it conveys the message so beautifully......once you give up, you neither have anything to show that you tried nor do you have a chance to forge ahead......

Hmm...wonder if you ever got such a detailed analytical comment...but that's slo for u!!!! Brilliance should always be appreciated........Keep your creative juices flowing and giving us all such food for thought!!!!

cheers!!
