I never thought of myself
But boosted with treasure of shelf
Also talked of so much wisdom
That was held seldom
“No one is intelligent” I thought and felt proud
Many times I spoke so loud
People heard me and laughed
No one responded with a word
I was called stupid
Yet I tried for no lid
Why people threw insult?
What was really seen in me as inbuilt?
Was it arrogance?
I said no
Was it just jealousy on their part?
I did not agree
They knew I was good by nature
But some thing was seen as failure
I used to speak at wrong time
It was wrong place too sometimes
I used to offer charity
But may speak with few words of pity
People always used to get offended
Thus my good reputation was ended
I have no way to learn
I remain always same
It is possible in future
But today I am total failure
