The Race For Hollow Gold

     
      Progress of human civilization 
      was so long based on realisation 
     of ' Plain Living and High Thinking': An old 
    concept turning to ' Race For Hollow Gold."

     Now the aim :' High Living and Plain Thinking '!
    This challenge ripples, rushes zest and zing !
    A pursuit of shallow or meaningless 
    superficial success to access !

     Self-interest will reach to any length,
    whether societal status or wealth :
    Bewildered, disoriented, frantic.
    No feelings for others : Just eccentric.

     Selfish self-centred approach : Illusion.
     ‘My life is mine’ is the prime dicesion .
    By hook or crook to follow own life style :
   ‘ Race For Hollow Gold’ is creating profile.
