Give


Hard work paid well.
Techniques also paid well.
Crooked ideas too
Illegal ways also.

Beef like mountains
Wine like ocean
Produced over and over again
No mercy to be expected
Nothing to be given to the lazy.

Money measures the world.
Money is the king.
No money.
No life.
No love.

Amassed riches
Filled to the brim all the stores
For cloths no more drawers
For money no more lockers
For shoes no more racks.

To share is to suicide.
No lazy will enjoy.
Aged, infirmed, disabled
Are heavy for the earth
Work or perish.

It is a sad fate
When ‘having’ becomes the ‘right’
When ‘non possession’ turn
Out to be ‘no right’.

Like fish, money sinks after a while.
Fish if preserved for a long time
Perishes and so money
Fish preserved by drying.
Money preserved by giving.

Giving not to make you generous
Not to make you famous.
But for needy
Not that they deserve
Not that you are capable to give always.

Giving is not wasting
Giving saves
Giving stores.

Give, from abundance
Give from little
Give from nothing
Give everything.

Giving is a game.
Only poor crowns in the game
They give from nothing
Who can give everything?

I am scared.
You are frowning
Who has enough to give?
No one ever earned enough.


Everyone lacks.
Everyone needs.
But some needs very urgently.
Will you give?
Will others give?
Will I give?

If not me who will give then?
Give that you may receive
Give, whether or not you receive.
Give always.
Give with love.

Love preserves dignity of the receiver
Money without love sinks like corpse.
Give, love, smile
Love and smile preserves
Giver and receiver.

Do you smile?
Do you love?
Go you give?
Shall we begin?
