O GOD! LET ME BE A RICHEST MAN.

 O GOD! LET ME BE A RICHEST MAN.

 

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 fair feather,

His greatness, from the Pole to the Pole, does 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 dearth!

 

O God! Let me thus be a richest man without 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 have enough money for one’s needs
