The poem commenced with
life being compared to a
huge stage where all of us
are only actors. Each
person has an entry into
the world at birth and exist
it at death.
The first and foremost act of every
human being is the stage of infancy,
where he makes his presence by crying
at the top of his voice and many a times
vomiting any food or drunk that is
repulsive, at the nursing arms of his
mother. This period normally last till four
years of age.
The second stage is the ‘whining school boy’
where he learns to write plaintive high
pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear,
supplication or complaint, his shiny morning
face and his satchel, a small bag sometimes
with a shoulder strap, he creeps like a snail
and not willing to go school.
The third stage is his early youth, the
peak of love and high romance. He
sighs like a burning furnace and sings
the sad ballads of romance; full of
woe; affected with ; characterized by,
or indicating woe: woeful
melodies; to
impress his lover’s heart . The
impression of her reply can be seen in
her eyebrow.
The fourth stage is that of a soldier
where life is full of obligations,
commitment , compliances,. oaths and
vows. His beard is like a Leopard . He
endlessly fights for his honor ,a full of
presence of mind which is sudden quick
in quarrel and a heart to maintain a
dignified reputation.
