Don'T Be Haughty O' Outward Beauty

It was dawn, cool sunrise, extended Gleam defeating dark, Thirst quenching blossoms, Wet in morning dew; Blooming buds refreshing self, displaying arousing glamor; Rising high florets pride, Mentally flying high in sky, None like mine, all are menial; All flowers together one day, Opted to compete, Jasmine got rewarded best; Cocky jasmine wasn't content yet, Ego whooped 'stinking rose', Laudly uttered, " accept challenge, Who has beauty, who is ugly, Who has aroma, who stinks bad, You are no worth, look no good"; "Look at me! My aroma radiates, raptures environ, My look lures all feel touched", 'Stinking rose' explains in cool, "I ain't fury nor I jealous, My name is garlic too, Loved by people who want health, Chemicals inside stimulates all, You attract but I stimulate, No health no beauty is rule of law; I am major source of food, No food is complete, With no clove of mine; Daily a clove is enough, keeping sick away from you; Don't be haughty O' outward beauty; Beauty isn't only what you see, Isn't only what you smell, It's quality too; beauty rises from inside, Sweetens heart and soul, makes feel touch in heart, Healthy people always happy, Think positive live positive, Make environment good for all, All have beauty all are good, Its you only you, how you view; © Sadashivan Nair
