Greatness can never be
measured by means of money,
Character, not riches,
makes one shining and sunny!
Wealth can be amassed by
most, more and many,
But, a man of character
does not need even a penny!
A million of millions can
be seen, in the mundane sky, like the stars,
But, how many of them, you
can bet, are, without a spot, like the
Stars?
A man of character
surpasses all the barriers and transcends all the bars,
While, a man without character, spoils his present, and his future too mars!
A man of character enjoys
the rarest lightness of the fairest feather,
His greatness, from the
Pole to the Pole, does always, thick and fast, slither!
He alone is the perpetual Glitter
in this transitory and temporary Earth,
He is the richest man, though,
to make both ends meet, he is ever in an acute dearth!
O God! Let me thus be a
richest man withot owning a pittance or a guinea,
Let me only be a man of
character, built on the plinth of Morality, not money!
* A million of millions –
a millions of millionaires
* To make both ends meet – to earn just enough money to pay one's bills

Excellent presentation with lines of ideology Sir. Very rare people are seen to have enriched themselves with such riches Sir and those few who possess such riches are no doubt far far superior to the Haves inspite of being in the group of Havenots. Some how your lines are quite sparkling with the effects of transpirancy and divine fragrance. ........ Jai Shree Radha Madhaba
