Spark

“The world is hopeless and corrupt”
I was told.
“The world is bogus and useless”
I was warned.
“Everybody a self seeker; no body selfless”
I was made to believe
I obeyed society honestly
Lived a life like island hopelessly
Invested energy condemning world endlessly

Lightening struck on head
Above thoughts gushed down the drain
“Start a spark in you; be helpful to change”
I went about phase by phase
It became life’s pristine craze
moved places far and near
Experienced rich yet strange
Marched forward with mighty faith
Climbed mountains with word and phrase,
Decade on completion fold
on my stride
Critic and a praise.
