Impoverished We Become When We Only Receive

In this world the biggest crime Is to term anyone unholy And the biggest lie is to be claimed By some one like divinity In fact here none is devil Nor any one is like an angel Inside us we all nourish an animal Our success depends on How well we tame our pet And how well we harness our goodness By virtue of our deeds and contributions Done out of love But never for the fear of retribution We ask for more and more At the places of worships As we never go To show any gratitude Or express our thanks The notion of charity appears By recognizing the infinite benevolence of nature The purity of heart comes With the freedom of selfishness and desire The lower desires of us go When we are inspired to do better And moved by an urge to share As we become rich by what we give But impoverished we become when we only receive.
