THE DEFEATED

Defeat   is  colourless……all  alone……you………………………..
lick   your  wounds…….thinking,  what  might  have  been……
Your   dreams……lying   shattered……in  myriad   pieces……..
What   has  gone   wrong…….?………………………………………..
Agonising……..you   are  all  alone……………………………………
World   is  a  very  lonely  place,  for  the  defeated…………….
The  rejection…..more  painful…..than  the  defeat……………..
The  World…..It  loves   a  winner……………………………………..
Damned  be  the  loser……………………………………………………
King   Bruce……?   we  don’t  have  time……Move  aside,friend,
We  don’t  have  time  for  old   fables…………………………………
Show  success,  money,  power  we  will  love  you……………..
Worts  and  all……………What  worts….you  don’t  have  any…
The  defeated…..he  picks  himself….piece  by  painful  piece,
Stands  up…..to  be  counted……………………………………………
Only….there  is  no  one  count…………………………………………
They  are  all  busy……..currying  favour….with  the  winner….!
RAJ.

  4. C V says

    As far as our way to victory from defeat is not with such an end in mind, why bother with what the ways of the world are? But you cut a true picture with your post.:)

    “Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.”
