Being Happy Always Poem by mohan sanjeevan

Being happy always
Is easier said than accomplished!
It's perfect for the enlightened hermits
For them bliss is within, seek within
Damn difficult for the mundane poor mortals

Ordinary mortals are for progress,
Improvement, self-welfare
Being content on stagnant progress
May help being happy, yes
Just they keep working, happy!

The noble hearted work for others' welfare,
May be sad seeing the others suffering
Still helping them, seeing their smiles
On improvement makes them happy
They too keep working, happy!

For still many being happy means owning
money, more money, luxury, high living,
A palatial bungalow, an extravagant car,
The latest high end smart phone so on,
Well, modern desires or modern necessities?

Once it dawns on them these are mere desires
Not actual necessities as they could live
With less amenities with bare minimum
Essentials, food, dress and shelter
There floods the happiness, indeed!

There are no short cuts or ready made recipies
To being happy always, just some measures-
It's hermit way of life, contented mortal living,
Social uplifting, welfare oriented sustenance- just few
Right pickings amidst thousand ways of being happy
