Out of action
Smile when you start to walk
Cry when you fail to talk
Rejoice when work is complete
Try to meet the friends and greet
Such has to be the life and its way
You may have to move and stay
Take everybody along with mission
Accept the blame wholly if time comes in for admission
Live happily with life
even when it is full of strife
hate and love
it is make and believe
Smile when you need to
cry when you bleed to
why think of world?
When it is full of deception and very cold
I have no reason
To hate a person
It is his choice
Whether to break or keep the promise
I shall show no weakness
Bear the smile and shine on face
Why show it to people and cry?
Instead why not fight it out and try
Some of the things go unsaid
They are understood as implied
We do when it warrants action
There is no use to offer reaction
Success if at all may certain come
Embrace the failure and welcome
Either way you are center of the attraction
Success and failure may remain out of question
