Love and expectations- All are like a Mirage

You say some people love you,
True –until you pay a great price for it,
You feel people care for you,
True- until they feel that you could give them endlessly,
You say that people support you,
True –until you think that way
World is there for you
True-until you are happy,
Things look bright,
True until you see that way,
But there is a big but,
When you need somebody,
Then they are really busy,
In something much more important…
When you want to talk to somebody…
They really feel irritated because you look irritable…
If they need you and you are always there for them…
But there is a big but…
Can you be the same again…
With them…
Pouring your heart and flesh for them…
It is up to you to decide…
For me I can’t stand for them…
For me relations could not be buyed…
And for me then those promises were lies…
Of course, everything is false in this world…
No one would stand for you…
If you do not have money in your hand…
Nobody would treat you like a friend…
If you do not have some material possessions in your bank,
People would give you love and wishes full of tank,
If you just tell them that all these possessions are like a sand….
They will laugh on you and say that you are mad…
That is the truth that when you are sad…
They forget your past deeds…
For past is meant to be forgotten…
And whenever your present is rotten…
And you compare it with past…
It is that your breath cannot cast…
And even that cannot last…
For no one can understand you,
As you yourself can…
For no one can stand for you…
So as yourself for you…
And only few can join your band…
If you treat this material possessions …
As houses of sand…
How much name and fame you have…
Life’s is never the same in its game…
Table may turn over anytime…
And no one is blind…
Things never remain the same …
For even the luckiest person on this earth…
Even this name and fame ends…
When your life’s game end…
People take out some processions…
Just take out some tears…
But you know that you have no fears…
If you do not expect anything from this world…
As this whole world is like mirage…
And their expectations from is like a garage…
But if you ask something for your help…
No one would like to talk to you even for a second…
But you know nature never speaks its woes…
Mother earth never cries on her foes…
So be your friend and gain all that
Beyond anyone’s expectations
That is the greatest talent…
Greatest gift of nature
Without expectations from others…
You have not to bother
And then you are your family and friend
You are your own support…
Needs none to defend…
If you want to thank someone…
Think about nature…
None thanks her…
She does not expect the same…
So life is a game…
Where you come alone leave alone
Perishes with some name and fame
To be forgotten soon
But mother earth open arms
Take all your woes…
Protects from your foes..
She is evergreen and everlasting…
Then why to bother about worldly mothers or fathers…
Why to bother about this perishable relations…
In terms of spouses, sisters or brothers…
Whe nature has given this everlasting creations…
