Waiting

Is waiting synonymous to living

That is how, life is spent these days

So it gets me wondering

From childhood we wait to become old

But kids have all the fun, we are told

We wait to be a graduate

just to realize about the subject 

we are not passionate

We hang tight to land up in a better job

That too just to sob

Next in line is the eminent wait of a life partner

they say, choosing the right one can make your future brighter

Then it comes to settling down

Waiting for a house to be built in the most vibrant town

Oh, in all these we forget about our passion

Well for that, we can await retirement in action

Likewise, life passes by

in a blink of an eye

In its’ every phase, we waited and waited and waited

time fled by yet that was quite negated

which is why

it solemnly gets me wondering

Is waiting synonymous to living
