The wrong target

Ever wondered why, in shooting a dart
You are likely to hit a wrong target
I may be quick to forget
How my journey started
How I struggled through perfection
Hoping that my circumspection
Will beckon a look of satisfaction
But I realised that all life's folly
Depended on our selfish desires only

The wrong target.

When all our energy is wasted
Our hope is that for what we have fasted
We shall receive
But our wrong target
Must be beyond our reach
So we can fail to preach
Of a feat
That would eventually lead to our defeat

The wrong target.

Energy has been wasted
