If life was a simple
Statement of account
You deposit when you like
Or withdraw some amount
Daily balance, you could see
Straight and clear
Whichever way you like
Your life, you could steer
Poetic justice in life
Is rarely seen
Results often elude
When you are most keen
One simple lesson
Every human must learn
Enjoy your duty
Jealousy, you must burn
Daily you decide to do some jobs
The pleasure of completion, the day often robs
Unexpected hitches and the handicaps
Your treasured hopes, these constantly rap
What good is planning, you might think
Without planned efforts, all objectives sink
On completion of the day, always take stock
Monitor your efforts for benefits, these brought
Fear of loss
Or fear of fight
Phantom of darkness
Or a burning light
A day of terror
Or horror of night
Keep these at bay
Drive them away
With Divine Power
Shinning Rock Tower
Any enemy can not face
Mettle of Divine Grace
Everyone wears an illusion, a mask
Trying to carry out the secret task
Why not be forthright and straight
Why entice others with tempting bait
How does the salesman, his ware sell
Facts about his product, he will never tell
Illusory perceptions create the demand
Action follows emotion’s command
Rarely, when one calls a spade a spade
His holy reputation will never fade
When worry plays havoc with your life
Dampens your initiative slows your strife
Make yourself busy with little easy jobs
Their completion gives confidence; let worry not rob
Reinforce your faith in the FORCE beyond
Help will be yours with a favorable bond
An opportunity lost
Never comes back
Delayed action may cost
Initiative you will lack
Similar opportunity but not the same
Lucky you, if it comes again
Catch it exploit it
Don’t let it waste, in vain
Habit, practice, use of mind
Winning tools; develop and find
Nature also helps, and is kind
Baser tendencies you’ll rout and grind
Clarity in thinking you must school
In competitive world there is no better tool!
Between the lines you must read
Shunning emotions, to objectivity pay heed
Listen to the call of your mind
Solution to problems; intelligently find
Sharpen your wits enhance observation
Personal prejudice deserves negation
Realise reality; develop your skill
Clarity in thinking you must instill.
Hazy grays never leave alone
These tend to become dispute’s backbone
Each of the issues; try to resolve
With a cool head, your problems, you solve
He was happy in his paradise
Success of others he would despise
Weaving his world of web around
With self satisfying arguments
He was bound
What good is property?
What good is wealth?
Why take trouble?
Why spoil health?
What you have,
Why not adore?
What you have not,
Why not abhor?
Why spoil time,
In applying mind?
Give yourself rest,
Rest is best
A perfect example
Of a foolish wise
He preferred to live
In a fool’s paradise.
An array of vicissitudes
Life oscillates between happiness
And grief
Cultivate your attitude
Bridging the gap between the two
Reach relief
What you may yearn today
Tomorrow, you abhor
What you hated once
Today, you may adore
Keeping your mind closed
May stagnate you from within,
Entering and getting lost
Into a wayward web of sin
Bliss, if you ask
Bliss you will receive
Remain calm and open to anything
Control all senses
Act, as you must
Your objective,
You will achieve
