Hark! I am the
‘Darling Babe’ of one and all,
People pray to
God for my rise, and your fall!
God is devoutly beseeched
for your departure and my arrival,
For, your
presence fetches a desert, and mine fans breeze Vernal!
Yes, I am, like
the useful and bounteous Neem leaves, bitter
I am not at all a
hateful Curse, as you mistake, altogether!
Lo! I do always teach
people essential lessons more,
Whereas you open
their misleading Overconfidence-door!
Hush! I am the
very preferred destination of every living soul,
Behind every aspiring
endeavour, I am the only goal!
I am praised,
pampered and hugged by the whole world,
Undeniably, I am,
of the most precious metals, the prettiest Gold!
However, my role
is not so negligible as you deem,
I am the ‘Vital
Brake’ to make man humble, disciplined and trim!
I am not so much
unwanted as I do outwardly seem,
I am the stern
Teacher to nourish man’s dream to shine and gleam!
Let us, from
today, live harmoniously as the two sides of the same coin,
For, both of us
are valued equally by the scrupulous, judicious and sane!
Glossary:

Beseeched - begged
