To each his own professions

A poem

To each his own professions Of love Of life Let there be no concessions To ideas or ideals Of ‘right’ or real That are not your own.

To each her own failures In love In life Let there be no erasures Of emotions learnt Through being burnt, Own your own scars.

To each their own sacrifices For love For life But let there be no compromises In standards of self Or diversity of wealth, Which you own by choice.

To each our own gratitudes Our loves. Our lives. But, please, no platitudes Said without grace Mindlessly. In the face Of all that we own.
