Life is Cricket: The Five Junctures



Life’s a game of cricket
Where we all bat and the god bowls
Many take guard at the same time
And many walk back at that moment
Some score sixties, some seventies
And some other unlucky ones don’t score any
Our innings’ a plateau, full of ups and down ‘times we are not able to connect with ball
And ‘times we hit ferociously

One’s innings has five Junctures
He start’s off badly with out being able touch the ball

In the second juncture
On his face is reflected his innocence and ignorance
He is trying to gaze the conditions and act accordingly

The third juncture turns him into a zealous mode,
Blindly going for every thing

As he enters the fourth juncture
He’s a veteran
Experienced enough to throw his medications

Looses his vehemence as the fifth juncture comes
Battling the way he started off
And the time comes for the destiny to raise its finger
