To Float The Boat Again

The river seems so small now
Still I can't cross it. For long,
Longing and watching from the bank
So many are crossing, lean and
Thin, poor and rich, so many so many.
In my presence, crossing easily
Sailing false. If I want fate
betrayed so much so much that
sunk sandy land blocked the boat.
And now trapped by the riverside
Waiting by the bank. should some
Little fish be caught, to gather
Some light and paltry capital. So
That a huge commercial boat could be
Built and float it again in the river
Sailing big with tightened helm.
