The Dark Knight
Caught in a maze he tried to crack that one big jigsaw called life Those were moments when he tried and failed In moments of agony and strife Of whirlwinds that kept him from reaching his goal To that epoch where valour tastes sweet Where timidity comes with a price And of the sweet sound of victory that takes ages to reach Kissing the morning dew and the silent night He burnt the midnight oil to make his flight of fantasy Coupled with moments sprinkled with realism For staying away from success cuts like a knife Amidst the myriad twists and turns he aimed for the sky With clarity of vision and a number of ideas He churned till he reached the nectar of knowledge From ignorance to wisdom many hurdles he crossed and grew In those daring moments there was just one thing he knew Life is Beautiful and to turn it even more meaningful There are valuable times spent when one cracks the puzzle of life And an easy way out is too bad to be true In times where he felt a sense of being He also recalled the rise to might from a humble being Which reminded him the difference between them and you Of plundered kingdoms and raging past battles He stood like the king and many tantrums he threw Caught in the crosshairs of sanity and power He let his powerful emotions break through Destined to rein and emerge the winner The man with an unsheathed sword stood in the ring From that day on the immortal Gladiator within him grew He rose as a fighter He killed for victory more than blood In those hours of chivalry Remain the memories of a born soldier He still fights life’s daily battles to rule like never before In dark moments and risky times he has learnt to be true He struggled to learn life’s wayward ways and with each passing day He learns something unique and new, In these past years on Earth, What have you?
