The Jungle

It seems so good when seen from far,
But when you peep inside everybody is at war.
The Jungle is beautiful, deadly at times,
Filled with guilt, grace and innocent crimes.

Getting inside the jungle is very easy,
But once you get inside the path becomes hazy.
You pass through creatures both friend and foes,
Be prepared for stares, glares and woes.

The frightening silence in the brown and the green,
You will have dangerous encounters even if you are not too keen.
Enemies will befriend you and friends might stab you at the back,
But the experience is great; you can still have a crack.

Jungle seems never ending and the going gets tough,
At times it would be smooth or else will be rough.
The sounds and the shrills with a hint of black sky,
It can be so chilling and gloomy that it will make you cry.

The death of life and the life of death,
A little bit of nothing might end your breath.
The journey goes on, people come and go,
Some will laugh, some will cry but at the end, all will bow.

The air, the water, the fire and the earth,
You don’t know when your death is at birth.
The trees, the mountains, the river and the falls,
No matter how much you try, it’s the Nature that always stands tall.

The law of the jungle is that the jungle has no law,
You will be executed for what won’t be your flaw.
The life will hate you and death would make love,
Apply for a place in the heaven up above.

Even before you know, you might be a prey,
The only way out is pray, pray and pray.
The life is short and it may be all over,
There is no second chance; it’s now or never.

No one comes out of the jungle safe and sound,
If you are a coward then better go around.
The jungle is dirty, full of hate and hurt.
Love and loyalty are the values in dearth.

The journey is eventful, full of pleasure and pain,
So many tried to understand it but all in vain.
You have everything to loose but nothing to gain,
Still people come to the jungle again and again.

The jungle we are talking about is the jungle of life,
Those who succeed are the ones who strive.
Virtues will be tested and morale may be down,
Life is a circus with fate as its clown.

Don’t get disappointed, as the jungle is fun,
After all bad weathers, there is always the sun.
We all are together in this jungle of despair,
To face all the challenges of life with dignity and flare.
