LET'S NOT BE JEALOUS OF OUR BETTER COUNTERPARTS!

LET'S NOT BE JEALOUS OF OUR BETTER COUNTERPARTS!

Let's not be jealous of our better counterparts;

For, they are the real shapers of our sure success arts,

They are the bitter sweet Neem leaves for our weak, sick hearts,

They are the hidden blessings for our vigorous, victorious parts!

Let's not be envious of our better counterparts;

For, they are the actual accelerators of our triumph starts,

They are the unusual sculptors of our heyday future,

They are the invaluable keys to unlock our chests of rapture!

Let's not be intolerant of our better counterparts;

For, they are the invisible wheels of our swift achievement carts,

They are our unpaid guides to confront and win the stiffest fights,

They are our selfless benefactors, the bestowers of heavenly delights!

But, until and unless we know and acknowledge this unspoken Truth,

We'll grow like a tree with neither soothing shade nor nutritious fruit!
