Reconnaissance



The door is so high
Stair up to the sky
Its hard to climb
My throat is dry

Steps getting high
Tired little thigh
Cold wind blowing down
steps are hot and dry

Some have warm dress
boots to  cover mess
We climb the same steps
How is it fair success,?


But when i look back i see
People smaller than my knee
They can't even reach the steps
I shouldn't complaint ,i agree
 

About this poem

The poem relay a message that one should be grateful to what he have. Life is never fair to everyone , so we should learn not to complaint and move on what ever the situation is . In the poem the speaker is a person who is climbing the steps of stair, to the door of success . For sure there are difficulties . But when the person realise everyone climbing the steps are not the same . Some live their life in comfort and other don't. So the speeker is comparing and complaining "how is it fair success to both of them ". In the last paragraph the speeker sees some other people down the stairs who can't even dreem to climb the stairs. So one should be thankful to what we have rather than complaining .
