the five...

And so it began with them five….
So close, so near, so innocent...
Tumbling through the path of life…..
Caring neither for a penny nor for a cent.

Growing up has always been fun...
And is a journey so adventurous…….
When the five did it all as one……
Taking by horns a bull so treacherous…

Oh! They were all friends with love and care….
Friendship and loyalties all for each other….
Crossing all the worries with feelings so bare…..
‘I after you’ they told each other….

Tides of time swept over and so came adolescence…
Education…worldliness….practicality and what not
All of that taught as a defense
Against the world they had to if they wish so or not!!!

Oh! But what happened to the friends…
As you ask so I tell with my heart tearing apart…
They learn acting so as grown ups….and so it all ends…
Success comes to them each at the prices that their ways they part….

And so hardens the innocence to cunnings….
And so goes the love and tenderness…
As treachery and theft comes on to them running...
The warmth hence cools down dissolving itself to nothingness….

Here I stand, one of the five…
Oh yes! Am so lonely for so long…
All the joy gone from ma life…
Oh! Here I stand still wondering…what went wrong….
