Youth soon vanishes,
As time just punishes,
Old age admonishes,
Sun's power diminishes.
Always Simple living
Will be peace-giving,
God is kindly loving,
And eternally living.
Heart cries sadly for the poor,
To help, you must have power,
Gets dried even a mighty river,
Can a single man help?, never.
You can't prevent any earthquake,
But, you can very sportively take,
If your mercy for the poor is fake,
Your Heavenly stay will be at stake.
Dig man, continue to dig,
Think of gold as so big,
Eat money like a pig,
A great status, just bag.
Run like a damn mad horse,
Forgetting the beauty of stars,
Create enmity that leads to wars,
Send men to Jupiter and mars.
Kill all with the best skill,
Drill people against their will,
Let devil continue to do evil,
Let love for the world be nil.
Let noble ideas be rejected,
Let poison be in brain injected,
God is there, feel never dejected,
One day, the soul will get ejected.
Go on the right path with calm,
Meet with serenity every storm,
Only kind ideas you wisely form,
Then, life will have great charm.
Learn a talent bit by bit,
Develop not worrying habit,
Work hard and feel ever fit,
Fearing attitude, you prohibit.
All must surely leave this world,
Forever life, none can ever hold,
Be kind, helpful and wisely bold,
Then, peace can be controlled.
