Achievement

I saw my good old friend yesterday in Bus station Walking here and there in shabby dresses His eyes were seen as tired and deep inside His face resembled the predicament he undergoes I remembered him as my classmate in college His energetic performance in debates and competitions He was a good orator inspiring the students Apolitical always but committed in values Advised none to follow him but we really enjoyed His presence, body language, neatness in dress code Never we saw him taking a tobacco in college days Or took a slight drop of drinks in parties we enjoyed For a pleasure, and in the achievement of studies As the winners of sports and other arts festivals We hoped a bright future to our beloved friend Who was the most blessed one through his character we respected his all round performance and good marks That likely to be ensured a good placement in real life Years gone, friends departed, seeking different streams Different jobs in different places and no opportunity To see our beloved friend even in marriage functions Of late it was understood and heard from another one That the gentleman is addicted to drugs and drinks His intellectual talent gone forever through vices Only his respect and love to others still prevailed Sorry to know the sad state of affairs of my friend Who I respected and kept like an idle and model to follow Here he stands and walks along the bus station In his strange mindsets not giving attention to anyone He having a long beard in grey and long hair roughly His beauty and gentle look no where to resemble Unfortunate I thought those who in drinks and drugs Whose valuable life will be in danger signal spot It is not destiny it makes a human failure I think It is the ways of life we select for future it decides.
