Perhaps this is uncertain
But has he become an ‘also ran’
Just another forgotten man.
The story goes long way back in time
But it is etched clearly in my mind.
He was declared a prodigy
With people around him indulging in demagoguery.
He was told he would do something big
Maybe own a hotel or an oil rig.
But now when he faces such feelings, all inspiring
He believes it to be his ego conspiring.
Because when the curtains fall
He doesn’t know what they may recall.
Has he become an ‘also ran’
Just another forgotten man.
It all started with a big-bang
The world around him seemed like it sang
His praises, his glory
As if it were to become a great story.
But somewhere he lost the plot
And all his efforts came to a naught.
He got lonely and isolated
For some phony and frustrated.
At last he asks with an apologetic tone
What will the world write on his tombstone.
Was he an ‘also ran’
Just another forgotten man.
