Futile Efforts

a poem by Satish Kakri

When your efforts are
not directed to achieve
your declared goal,
when you are pursuing
your goal but you
are distracted to
something else, it
could be due to some
roadblock which
you tried to remove
but wrongly; so
could not. Frustrated
by the defeat you
escape into something
else to avoid the
unwelcome feeling
of being defeated.
