A Friend
A Friend
Making enemies is so easy.
But making a good friend is a very tough deal.
You should be better than him or her
Whom you love.
No matter they recognize your qualities
Of being a good person.
Everyone thinks that they are fair enough
In their own thoughts and in their own ways.
Nuclear bomb is a very powerful weapon
But only love can defeat it
If at all it’s to be neutralised.
I have numerous friends
And I think they are far better than me
Because I kept on searching for a perfect guy.
Who’s perfect? Neither me nor you.
Sometimes I slip words, lose temper
And get ferocious
May be I’m right in my judgement.
Ego is the biggest problem.
I can’t be cool while the situations around me
Are so hot and when I’m succumbing
Fire.
I need peace and that’s the sweetest feeling.
So be calm, cool, serene, truthful.
Spend yourself with your own self.
What’s safer and beautiful than solitude.
Loneliness is just a myth and a false feeling
Why do you go to temples
Leaving your conscience behind and making it
More darker?
The more knowledge you gain, the more ignorant
You will be.
Wisdom is love
Love yourself, love thy neighbour and love
The world.
What’s the use of gathering so much riches
Are they not in vain
When you’re lost in your life?
God is everywhere
But he really lives within you.
Who’s better friend than him
Pursue him, follow him, heed him and spend
Your life with him.
A friend in need is a friend indeed
But when you need, nobody will come
And when anyone need you, you’ll not go.
Everyone will have their own priorities
Trust no one. I think whom you should trust.
If you ask me whom I trust
And if I say, you won’t believe.
Even gold plate needs the support of wall
You definitely need the support
Of a friend.
A friend is the one who you make
And don’t make him an enemy.
