The ups and downs
keeps one tied down
happy to see the rise
sad to experience the fall .
A climb up is a struggle
hard work marks it
a slide down is easy
many factors go to make it .
Expenditure over revenue
a happy go lucky attitude
misfortune the least
contribute to failures.
All of us know
pay no attention
till the going is good
make merry and spend.
As the tides turn back
the results show a negative
the fear grips slowly
grief strikes quickly.
Similar to the waves
a progress in the run
a retrieve without fun
day in day out it happens.
The river flows undisturbed
the sea roars unmoved
the life goes on likewise
with a ripple and a furore.
