Torn
between dilemmas
A man
followed his ambitions to the extreme
To build up
fame;
Then, one
day he realized that for his family
He was
nobody.
He cried
loudly asking for forgiveness to god,
Screaming
“I am sad,
How can I
show I love them and I love you?”,
A calm
voice said “You must do what is expected of you”.
The man welcomed
the observation,
And from
that day and on,
His heart
ruled over his head,
His
priority became breaking the family bread.
