BETTER BE A TITANIC THAT SANK.

 

Boat is left stranded in sand,

Neglected, none is ready to command,

To put it back in  flow at river of life,

Who will be the captain to put on strife?

The boat never left the idle  shore,

Chained safely to the sooty moor,

Feared to face wind and water's roar,

None to sing in it's fame a rusty lore.

Drifting aimlessly  on it's own, 

Like a puppet to dance on pull and tune, 

The boat sank even when tied with chain,

Chain gave way, rusting in incessant rain.

Some boats dared the storms without fear,

In the midst of tempest suffering tear,

Some lives weather the storms of spate

Their resolve no force can ever mitigate.

It is better to be Titanic that sank,

For in hall of fame, it could make a rank,

Than the one that never left bank,

And tied securely on a pillar or a plank.
