The Irreplaceable

Life of ups and down 
Some going others coming 
Some trading others buying 
Some hating others loving
Survival of the fittest, 
All for a life

Happy at home with the circle 
But series of nags all day long 
Respect lost in the circle 
All for lack of supplies 
But finally, there came a task 
Now away from the circle 

Acquired a lot but no space 
Lot of wealth but no peace
The circle is okay but no see
Tired of the task for no rest 
Now a stranger in the circle 

Warmly welcomed at work
But they missed him at the circle  
The best at work 
But enemy in the circle 
The task is now a tie

Home once and the circle is happy
The joy of feminine finally arose 
For the night would be hers
But duty calls and off he goes

But the light didn't last long 
Finally, it slumps and went off 
What a blackout to the circle 
But there came another best 
The irreplaceable became replaced.

Kporho,

Another great poem from your talented pen. You have the abiity to write a poem giving the reader only so much, then leaving the reader to ponder on the fuller meaning. I continue to enjoy your work.

Thank you and well done

Deeper than its lines give due credit for.

Great piece filled with supple imagery.?
