Lake

Rise up men and women rise up 
Sleep is good but getting up is better 
And shrug off your junk thoughts 
Practice not your superstition 
Illogicality will not help you 
Neither will help you biased logic 
Nor will those for whom you cheat 
Hypocrisy is like a termite 
It will eat you up from inside 
Come up men, come up 
All around is darkness now 
Lit a light of new ideas 
Brighten up what is dim and shaded
You can, man, like you man can 
If you feel weakness 
And any doubt creeps in 
Read this poem carefully 
And revisit inside 
There you will find a pond, a lake 
All sources of your potentiality.
