Look out
What makes me sad?
Why is such trend?
Why do I crave for more?
I am poor
Everybody shows the door
Live with scant respect from neighbor
People push me away
Consider me hurdle in their way
Avoid contact and distantly pray
I am little less in brilliance
And no fortune hence
This keeps me tense
I wish to be rich
But can't reach
People come to me and preach
“Work hard as you have”
Able body and dare
You may certainly fare
I get less so I resent
Enough reason to discontent
Await response from mind to consent
Happiness lies somewhere
I feel shy and do not dare
But some how I have to care
“Fight with odd' I decide
Nothing more to add
Be happy and remain no sad
I pick this slogan
As it fits for human
I am not the only one
This is way out
Life must be thought about
Long for what you have and look out
