Attire

Attire

The choicest attire I wear, the accessories I adorn myself with

Fetch me thousands of likes and honeyed comments and praises!

However, why does it fail to conceal my insolence and frailties?

I lay exposed yet I shamelessly brag about my dress and money

Doesn’t the hollow vase make the loudest noise? 


We’re born naked and will return naked!

Let attire be just a shield for it’s only the personality that leaves an indelible mark!

Remember a mendicant can be well-versed than a megalomaniac!

Be not like the willows but like the big banyan with roots firmly grounded

Lest the strong winds leave you nowhere!
