Adjust to live with



Adjust to live with

Did you ever witness man with arrogance?
 Blinded by fortune and millionaire by chance
 You offer a drink to monkey and see the scene
 Same may be the case with men when delightfully seen

 No doubt reasonable amount is needed
 Some of the favorable points are conceded
 Yet it is useful not in all the cases
 Good relation is needed in certain cases

 People can be hired to garner support
 Audience can be created with good efforts
 But closeness and intimacy can only come from relation
 There money plays no part with any of the equation

 When all of sudden fortune swings in disfavor
 No one may keep close relation and come near
 They will sideline and keep some distance
 So money plays dominant part but has less importance

 Under such circumstances you may get jerk and kick
 You may have all kind of disasters and fallbacks
 You will be cornered from all the sides and find no favor
 You will find crunch for money power

 Suddenly you may find world is not meant for you
 Whatever you had enjoyed earlier was dream and untrue
 Roses had no smell and garden had lost charm
 Everybody is now unfavorable and ready to harm

 You want to forget all shocks
 As sympathy has run out of stock
 You may turn to heavy drinks to forget it all
 This leads you to fall and dash against wall

 Some good things may emerge in mind but of no use
 It is too late to recover and everybody will now refuse
 No help may come forward as expected
 You stand downgraded in public eye and not respected

 Fortune can swing any time in favor or disfavor
 As seasons also come in rotation like winter and summer
 What should we remember in times to come?
 We must adjust to live with situation and always welcome

I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems.
