The Life To Live

Better To Live An Honest Life Of A Hermit, 
Than An Opulent Life of A Very Selfish, Greedy Fool,
Who steals from and Oppresses the Poor,
Better To admits that you are out for Nought in cricket when you know 
That you edged the ball behind t the Keeper,
That to bat on and score 100.
Better to be Honest and lose, 
Than to be dishonest and win.
