People who crave as much leaping as birds Those who are angry and seem to be furious And those with a vulture's appetite for wealth Drawn ones react similarly to owls when lured Prideful people gird themselves akin to eagles Those invidious postures as a pack of hounds Avoiding war is crucial to developing wealth! "War" in three letters! Have men bled, even birds? War hinders all the delights, making us furious! Blast, blood, heavy weapons, and army hounds Yet judicious people who lack peace draw lured! Innocent troops fight innocent lives alike eagles. After wandering through biased realms, lured Faces after faces elsewhere, such as eagles Heroes perish, and fools utmost worry is wealth Heroes are in tears, while cowards are furious Cowards lie, yet they weep alike devoted hounds We slip deeper into the abyss of lunacy as birds.   The laughter and fun flowed fast and furious for the sake of saving the reward and vast wealth The initial dread triggers prejudice once lured  I sobbed when the moon whispered to the birds  And visualize us soaring on the backs of eagles Swung their deadly jaws at us such as hounds.    Greedy cries reverberate from the circling hounds Often carried out to ponder, indignant, and lured False funds, in fact, sprout wings akin to eagles Arbitrary knowledge was fed by graft and wealth  The truth is that people are as soulless as birds Recognition heralds the start of the shift, not furious. Let's soar to hone our craft with doves and eagles  And reasoning from true reflection among hounds  Share the honey of flowers and the songs of birds Set life goals to be reliable and truthful, not furious With God's blessings, all is feasible, including wealth If inner sight leans, retain spotless life, even if lured. Infinite bliss sows the seeds of peace and wealth A fervent need for union with God's bliss, not furious Incentives from the heavens rain down like birds.

"Arbitrary knowledge was fed by graft and wealth" this is a true gem in just one line alone! Astonished A.S.
