Philosopher

Bad childhood,

Loss of Mother,

Drunkard Father,

Foundation was strong

To grow mature.

Too early in life,

I conquered fear,

Learnt to speak clear.

Grew up, loved a woman,

She left me for another man.

I tried many jobs,

All I got was jeering  jibes.

Thus,

Life, I thought

Was sum of failures.

After traveling afar

On the life’s shore

I ended up becoming

A philosopher.

A failure.

    Thanks a lot! hmmm what I think is, after series of failures, or life experiences, one becomes a good teacher or philosopher…….preacher basically. You are right that philosophers are not failures – they have become immortals, many of them.
