Relevance Through Simple Terms
So much money isn’t necessary, yes! It isn’t necessary
to live a life of luxury and sophistication.
Enjoying the simple things, each and every one of them
with contentment, patience and discipline
gives advancement a cameo appearance in simplicity’s show.
A fleet of cars isn’t needed, no! It isn’t needed
to feel high up the ladder, wealthy or affluent.
A developed state of mind, swimming in contained ego
values every hard work, profits any venture
and anoints every reward with ultimate satisfaction.
Diamonds don’t make one glow under the sun,
no they don’t, not at all!
A body language with an open door of welcome
a complementary make up well fitted on a smile
beat the sun’s radiance to make it go shy.
Power isn’t the tool for influencing lives,
it has never been, oh yes! It has never been.
A pair of helping hands, a sincere heart
a mind of strong will and the lips of comfort
are the needed equipments to keep humanity breathing.
It is a waste to build an empire
just to have a roof over ones head.
A great waste! Such a great waste!
Where activity occupies is the border for enough
b’cos even with the space, half a bed is the actual dwelling.
It is pain to have a dozen body guards
to avoid danger or sustain life.
Funny but sad! Really funny but sad!
Death cannot be detained by guns and combat,
even through illnesses, its parcel is received.
It is folly to date a score of girls just to love one
complete folly! Damn complete folly!
Burning out the energy of youth is a different testament
but love needs no Resume or experience,
its prerequisite is an honest heart and a responsible mind.
The latest fashion isn’t a spark for charisma
No, no, no! Absolutely, not!
The personality covered speaks louder than the covering.
A simple jacket then, can be a medium,
through which an expensive aura is emitted.
Military prowess is not a yardstick to rule the world
not even close! Not even close!
A bold and dynamic mind which is a reserve for powerful ideas
and a supersonic vision with an uncommon perspective
would shake the planet and make its head bow.
We raise our heads too high and make our goals too steep
just to give our lives fulfillment’s warm bath.
But also doing the simple things in uncommon ways
through the eyes of honesty and the strength of positivity
makes achievement nearer than can ever be imagined.
