Adjust To Live With Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Did you ever witness man with arrogance?
Blinded by fortune and millionaire by chance
You offer a drink to monkey and see the scene
Same may be the case with men and delightfully seen

No doubt reasonable amount is needed
Some of the favorable points are conceded
Yet it is useful not in all the cases
Good relation is needed in certain cases

People can be hired to garner support
Audience can be created with good efforts
But closeness and intimacy can only come from relation
There money plays no part with any of the equation

When all of sudden fortune swings in your disfavor
No one may keep closer relation and come near
They will sideline you and keep some distance
So money plays dominant part but has less importance

Under such circumstances you may get jerk and kick
You may have all kind of disasters and fall backs
You will be cornered from all the sides and find no favor
You will find severe draught for the want of money power

Suddenly you may find world is not meant for you
What you had enjoyed earlier was illusory and not true
Rose has no smell and garden has lost charm
Everybody is hostile and ready to harm

You want to forget all shocks
As there is support has run out of stock
You turn to heavy drinks to forget it all
This leads you to fall on ground and dash against wall

Some good things emerge in mind but of no use
It is too late to recover and everybody shall refuse
No help may come forward as expected
You stand downgraded in public eye and not respected

Fortune can swing any time in favor or disfavor
As seasons also come in rotation like winter and summer
What should we remember in times to come?
We must adjust to live with situation and always welcome
