A Test?

It was simple.

The stretching was fun.

Myriad colors that could snap

And let the spectators be stun.

A rubberband it was,

Who thought he was wanted

Greater the pull from either sides,

The more he flaunted.

Perhaps way too wanted he was.

For each time to check he was strong,

In the stretching process he forgot

Where he truly belonged.

The one who stretched, his snap was the hurt

Which the band had induced,

To him-he who expanded,

T’was the band-the accused.

However, they must have pulled it a lot,

The powerful and the mighty,

For in the end, it did not break.

It just lost its elasticity.

You got it wrong then.
Breaking is death.
Losing elasticity is the end of hope.
