When Critics Throw Bricks

When people love to criticize
Please do not stay there long
Quit that spot by being wise
Or else you may prove wrong

When your efforts are not lauded
Instead when they are attacked
Then, only agonies get added
Happiness can never be tracked

When only criticisms badly flow
And terrific opposition is there
To smartly exit, you must know
Or else you will suffer, dear sir

When too many rules are quoted
With really no good intention at all
Your original talent gets cremated
Then in a deadly trap, you just fall

Never give serious attention to that
Where your genius is easily buried
In case you love to develop regret
Listen to the discouraging deed.
