Only Some Are Destined To Be Great - Poem For Dillip K Swain Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Everybody wants to be something
everybody wants to achieve triumph and glory;
everybody wants to be famous
everybody identifies a great personality;

everyone wants to be the conqueror
everyone wants to be victorious
everyone wants to be Amitabh or Salman
everyone wants to be Harry and William;

everyone does not comprehend heredity and royalty
everyone does not visualize endowment and legacies
everyone does not envisage talent and nepotism
everyone does not disable dreams and illusions;

someone thinks he can be great
someone thinks he can also accomplish success
someone thinks he can be a millionaire
someone does not think he cannot to be a prodigy;

no one looks at others' efforts or sacrifices
no one looks at other's background and hardships
no one ponders on other's strife and struggle
no one stops envying others' achievements;

someone never imagines he sat on the same seat
some one never thinks he read the same books in school
someone never recollects they read the same pages
someone never realizes the other became a President;

very few are supported to be great by fortuity
very few are promoted to be popular by hierarchy
very few are encouraged to be topmost by determination
very few are recommended to be eminent by destiny.
