Soul Versus Greed
Oh! You can,
Really you can,
How you can?
To what extent you can?
So romantically you can!
So practically you can!
It's human being, who really can,
what?
To live, to love, to feel wholly what he gets,
Enjoy thus the short life with which he is blessed.
But this is the toughest of all jobs,
Where Satan is continuously alluring all.
This is just greed that leads us to live unsatisfied
In the shape of Name, Fame and Money,
We forget to taste the 'life' named heavenly honey.
So, isn't it better to console our soul to be contempted?
Can't we feel happy with whatever we get?
Of course we're much more luckier
Than the corpse of baby Ilun forever.
