In Modern Times Among Modern People! ! ! ! ! ! !

Rating: 4.5


Blow the trumpet of your achievements
seek to hide your failures
turn to tell all your virtues
forget always the vices in you.

Quench the thirst with something sorrowful
satisfy the greed acknowledging your pain
the world would rather hear you suffer
than rejoice with you in happier times.

Remember to ask the most intimate details
of those whom you like or hate
forget never to pass on what you heard
to atleast a hundred or more.

Hide not your distaste, be forthright
never cease to think before you criticise
Here's how to live the life
in modern times among modern people! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
