Abusing the meek, Manhandling the weak, Pleasure, if you like to seek, Thinking that they don’t speak, Your life becomes very bleak, Once the torture reaches its peak! People will no longer be mute. If you change not your pursuit, It will bring down your repute; Very bitter is its fruit! Become not ‘The Narcissistic Sun’; You will be liked by none. Permanent is not your power; Hour by hour, it withers like a flower! Take not pride in your strength; Be aware, too short is its length! 4th Place
