Do it for...



Whatever be the odds, you need to go on.
Utilising every moment, before its gone.
Ignorant may you be, but have all at stake.
Sincere efforts, you need to make.
Do it for... a poor man's sake.

Enjoy your work, you won't toil too much.
Work you must, to attain a healing touch.
Situation guides, just stay awake.
Careful strides, you must take.
Do it for... humanity's sake.

Adversity enlightens, adversary emboldens.
Foes, not friends, add to wisdom.
Swimming is ecstatic in a sweat-filled lake.
Sweat of hardwork, is my coveted cake.
Do it for... Almighty's sake.
