Immortality

'How is it' I asked 
'Can I live after death ?'
Smirked He and said
'Not in all your earned wealth'


The choice is your's lad
From this day onward
What you do and what you sow
That's how in memories you'll grow


Your riches be sans worth
Your powers be frail than dirt
Your face be forgotten quick
Your remembrance be no sweet


Unless you choose to be more
Than just a life full of chore
Unless you see through your core
Than just whiling away 'a bore'


Choose a path that alters
The days of your's and others
Break free from the mundane cage
Embark upon an inspiring voyage


Show the world the light it seeks
Rescue 'em from deceitful tricks
A message you must yourself become
Not bow down to the dissenting some


Only when you've touched lives
Only when you've made great strides
In changing 'worse' to 'better'
Showering love, you go wherever


When you've burnt on the altar
Of sacrifice and braved life's war
When you've given back to all
Hope in the midst of a bleak fall,


Will you be worthy of a memory
Hailed in pages of history's glory
Then time too will find you mighty
Needless to say, you'll achieve immortality

Struggle

Tired and defeated I sat grim
On the stairs that ran in
Outward I looked and thought
Reminisced how long I fought

Of all the struggle I endured
Of all the dejection that poured
Of the bravery that was hailed
Yet everything I did, failed

Undressing my soul
Of the courageous cowl
Ridding my hands
Of the futile sands

Walked my father, to sit
By me and talk of some wit
'My son' he began
Across events galore he ran

'Life's often a test
Never stop to give your best
Its when the going is the toughest
Your goal may just lie next'

'Its when the ride seems uphill
The other side might be a treasure in veil
Its when struggle is all what you do
Know your strength is set to grow'

Despite defeat, loss and misery
You'll at the end find a great story
Just when you are about to give up
That's the moment you should buckle up

For more often than not
It's been testified a lot
Struggle is inevitable and surest,
Life's only way to make you strongest
