Few would ever opt for a bus ride
If a driver's seat's unoccupied,
Empty its fuel tank,
Repairs staring in blank,
...
Selfless service the highest dharma,
Highest pursuit, the skill in karma,
Charity to those that deserve,
Best way to one's wishes to serve,
...
Of four brothers that wealth may sire:
There's dharma, sacrificial fire,
The king and his empire,
Business, commerce and trade;
...
Logic may not one and two equal make,
Nor can fasten a square peg in a circle,
No power's known rules of cosmic law to break,
But I've seen will-of-faith making miracle.
...
I am sure sometimes I've someone hurt,
And at times felt have I nigh like dirt.
A competing tourney,
Life is no smooth journey,
...
Far off lies one's home
With one boat many a storm,
But storm is life's norm.

Time leaps and turns its millennial page—
From Ice to Stone to Bronze to Space age,
Each age with its vast range,
And then comes this change:
...
He poured tears on his marital strife,
On problems of thankless married life,
Poor absent-minded him,
Lost in the world of dream,
...
And death once told a much defeated life:
Life is no life if lived on edge of knife,
If struggles for survivals soaked in strife,
You see, life comes with many a death rife.

A Tele anchor asked a biz man:
Sir, how fair you find this Budget Plan?
Bold vision all so rare,
It'd take us far and fair,
