KICKED OUT!!


Kicked out!!

The poem describes the feelings of a person who was fired from his job recently…

I have been in quite a shock,
For the past couple of days.
I am spending my time,
Trying to retrospect, trying to understand,
How did I get into such a sorry state.
What went wrong with my life,
Where did I lose focus and direction,
And how did my life draw closer,
To such a motionless still state.
And why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
I haven’t the faintest idea,
I haven’t the smallest clue...

Now, I keep blaming myself,
For all that has happened.
I am holding myself responsible,
For all the grudges,
People at work held against me,
For all my failures,
For all the battles that I quit midway,
And others that I lost comprehensively.
But I always put in my best efforts.
Then why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
I still haven’t the faintest idea,
I still haven’t the faintest clue.

Why did everyone around,
Ditch me all of a sudden.
They expected me to shoulder,
Such a huge burden.
I was given many a mighty task,
That was definitely more than what I could accomplish.
But I tried my best,
Yet, unfortunately, failed their test
Thus, I was kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
To sit at home and rest...

I am, rather was,
The only earning member,
Of my family of six.
But circumstances changed so drastically,
And now I am in a total fix,
Also completely worn out,
Both physically and mentally.
I used to laugh mockingly when,
I heard news of people getting fired.
But never did I realize,
That such a thing could happen to me,
That too, all of a sudden.
But now I know how it feels,
To be kicked out.
Yeah, it sure kills!!!!

The classifieds section of the newspapers,
That I had never bothered to check,
Is now my only hope for survival.
I keep praying day and night,
To relieve me from this pain and fright.
Get me a job quickly, please,
Even a meagre salary would suffice.
Show me bright sunshine again,
I shout out loud,
Enough of this dark cloud.
Enough of this rain.
God, somehow please ease this pain.
I am getting awful nightmares of late,
God, please get rid of them soon.
Do something, get me employed,
Coz I have talent, I know.
But one thing I still do not know,
Is that why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden.
But now, I know how it feels,
The pain of being jobless is excruciating,
And yeah, it sure kills!!!!!!............

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
