Nevertheless

Nevertheless…
I used all my efforts
To get into the world
That I see some people in
The world with many
Interesting things
The world
In which people eat and celebrate
But all my efforts
Were futile
Nevertheless, I will dance to that tune

I read many books
I did study fifteen subjects
I passed my O’ level
I passed my A’ level
I got three degrees
But it’s all the same

I searched for vocations
But I found none
I used all my fortitude
And I never forfeited
But it was all in vain
Who had bewitched me?
I just ask
Nevertheless, I will be poor forever

In the external do not seek, For the balance of karma, That decide woe and weal, Can be altered by Dharma. Pious and good deeds, Cause all woes to yield, To wealth and great weal, This is how fortune is healed.
