Expecting Ingratitude Is Fortitude

Do not be a damn fool
Helping all just like that
Please change your rule
Then, joy you can get

None bothers about you
As all are self-centered
None will offer any rescue
Mainly greed has entered

You may move a big mountain
Or cross all the seven oceans
Still may criticize your captain
Showing badly bitter emotions

The best remedy, you will show
To extricate your whole group
This help, all may come to know
Still may arrange for your coup

Your mother alone will love ever
Like a perennial pleasant spring
She only will ever be a believer
As to you peace that may bring

So please take my word dear
Help all, but expect nothing
Preserve your own cheer
And be your own great King.
