Lust not for riches that attracts needless ruckus <br />Lust not for niches acquired through back doors <br />Lust not for favors that tend to make you obliged <br />Dust off the lust trust in thyself rest for the best <br /> <br />Life sucks when mind becomes sick <br />Life pricks when played upon a trick <br />Life sulks when being a victim of bilk <br />Life shrinks when addicted to drinks <br /> <br />A cause to worry is half-hearted attempts <br />Neither work ends full nor the time stays still <br />Life is a riddle with lot of things raring to meddle <br />End result is little accomplished lots unfinished <br /> <br />Ignorance is no excuse thus spoke a phrase <br />Suits well if the ignorant is poor and lame <br />Ignorance is a sign of intelligence claims a new phrase <br />Powerful and politicians bask in the glory of ignorance<br /><br />Somanathan Iyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/concepts-8/
