Golden Opportunity

He asked would you be interested,
I thought for a second and nodded my head in agreement,
Quickly he brought a piece of paper.
And said, ‘tell me your credentials?’
A writer, a traveller, and a budding photographer?
I murmured, sometimes, a poet as well.
Good enough, your CV is ready,
I hope it reaches the authority,
As we are looking for someone,
Whose credentials are many;
In a world where competition is heavy,
I am giving you this golden opportunity.
Even though the deal was signed,
I couldn’t get ‘selling’ off my mind.
I thought I was human, not for sale,
But this world tells me get rid of stale,
In a world where competition is heavy,
I was getting this golden opportunity.
Those shining today, were whining once,
Of less opportunity,
So my dear, I had no other option,
As the competition is heavy.
This time let me be the privileged one,
It was my friend who thought of me,
Asking, 'If not him, we will take you instead,'
Did I hear you say?
In a world where networking is necessary,
I got this golden opportunity.
You maybe right,
But please don’t be angry,
As till today,
 I don’t know how to sell myself completely.
