FOR A BETTER LIFE!

You will agree we have only one life here to live;

The appetite to eat, sleep at nights and enjoy life! 

The fear of death and common sense to win over

Your mood goes up and down; swings side to side! 

 

Life is very hard; it is real struggle to work and gain

You are happy at times, but nothing lasts forever!

We are on our heels for the daily needs and comforts  

Cost of living's high, how to make both ends meet?

 

Humanity is fine, its values worth to care and follow.

Man or woman, white or coloured, young or old folks

They are dirty and ugly or very good-looking fine guys!

Rich or poor, tall or short: leaning to any social traits?

 

Childhood, student life and a job to secure livelihood 

You are grown up, bold and learnt many things needed. 

We have hearts and souls, full of energy and own mind

Married; wife, kids and elderly parents to love and care. 

We want food, shelter, good life and education for kids, 

Prosperity, happy life and peace at home! Life goes on! 

You forget pains, change the scenes and your mindset 

Keeping calm or meditate for a while; you will be alright! 

 

Health; physical and mental illness; minor or major ones 

You must keep your body and mind in good condition

Work hard to earn money and save for the rainy days 

Care and help the poor when they suffer and hopeless. 

 

Wealth may go up and down, calamities and bad times; 

Famine can strike anytime and money is root of all evils!

Poverty, diseases, accidents, tragedies and sufferings 

Nothing is under our control; gain or lose you take it easy.

 

Birth and death; start and end of your long-life journey

They are two sides of one coin; head or tail, no worries.

Loss or gain; never mind, darkness engulfs wait for light; 

Do not lose hope, you will be alright; Future is bright!!        

                NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!
