The well was deep, the walls slippery,
All around he looked, he could see only mockery,
The water dripping against the walls laughing,
The shiny walls looking at him and sneering.
He could not understand what to do, like a novice,
He looked up and put his hand in a crevice,
Tried to climb up but slipped, into the water splashing,
Frustrated, tired and angry, he started screaming,
Why have you put me in here, in this small pond?"
Tears in his eyes, hope faltering, he gave up
And accepted his fate, as he looked up,
