Wealth succumbs to
mansions, cars and nothing less to
jewels and jewellery
it’s man that remains irreplaceable
and serves all purposes,
it could be responsibilities
steadily measured, as if one
shouldn’t trout or strut
when he knows it can’t be dark,
unless one makes it and
yes he told:
It can’t be dark; unless you make it!
But, he calculated evenly, yet
consciously to remain in dark
to light many faces around and
to keep them smiling,
laugh and sing.
He shut himself inside
the office rooms
yet believing unhurriedly-
every person
who walked to his way of life,
imprints their remains too, cunningly.
