Wasted Years...

I once knew a man with great aspiration,zeal & vigour
At 20,he wanted to conquer the world
but he realised it was too much for him
Then at 30,he focused on changing the earth
and for the second time,he met a brick-wall.

At 40,his dream was to rebuild his continent
but again the burden of this task crushed him
Then at 50,he wanted to change his country
unfortunately,that turned out disappointing for him
So at 60,his dream drifted to restructuring his state
again,he was completely incompetent.

And at that point,he realised he was yet to change his family
suddenly at 70,that became his utmost desire
As i looked from a distance i could tell his foolishness knew no bound
he had climbed his ladder from top to bottom
But it was already too late for him
cos he died just yesterday.
