Mentor To Many, But

Trains used to be Chain Smokers. But we helped them Quit By Electrifying them. Dustbins used to be Illiterates. We taught them to Differentiate Organic from Plastic. Communications used to be Lazy. We motivated them to Run And to be Quick and Active. Cultures used to be very Lonely. We trained them to Mingle And suspend their Superstitions. Gold used to be Dusty and Buried. We pulled it out of Poverty And helped it Rise and Shine. We being a Mentor to many, Still fail to Guide ourselves Into a Self Disciplined Path.

A nice poem indeed, Harshath. The parallel stanzas leading to the contrasting irony in the final one--sharp pen. Regards, Ram
