WINGS
The world
gives no man wings
on a golden platter.
If he will fly,
a man must gather
as many feathers
as he can
to make large wings
with which he'd ascend
to the heights
his heart desires.
He is unwise
who waits unendingly
for the world
to bestow feathers
upon his back
while he sits still
or sleeps
on a soft bed
with many pillows.
Soon, he'd fall
into an early grave
blaming
every other man but himself
for the woes
that befall men
who have no wings.
