Misery loves company, thrive on self pity, <br />Wise advice, maintain equanimity. <br /> <br />Money is the bane of even close blood ties. <br />It’s best to donate wealth before you die. <br /> <br />To enjoy the cool night of a full moon <br />Have to walk bare feet in desert in noon. <br /> <br />If gloom and rancour be your bed fellow, <br />Seek good company, let spirit mellow. <br /> <br />Friendship is bound to go for a sixer, <br />As soon as money comes into the picture. <br /> <br />All cherished beliefs, values get churned, <br />As life compels to learn, unlearn, relearn. <br /> <br />Buffalos beat the heat in muddy pond, <br />While man swoons under palm fronds. <br /> <br />Unmindful speech wounds like an arrow, <br />Like a hunter aims and fells a sparrow. <br /> <br />Sensory pleasures give short lived delight <br />For pure joy just seek within- inner light. <br /> <br />Things do happen whether you like or not, <br />What use is worry it only makes life short.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lessons-from-life-couplets/
