ARE WE RICH?
KRS Murthy
Dad! All my friends were discussing today
To know when we have really become rich
To be sure that we are rich is not easy at all
As I do not know what is being rich anymore
Are you rich when you have lots of money?
Do not need any more money to say enough
Just like I have felt that I can't eat any more
In a full stomach after a really tasty big meal
Do you ever get enough to say no more please?
How can I my find a stomach to put my money?
That just refuses to eat any more money to force feed
The tummy warns with a hurt really badly, when I ignore
When I feed anymore by force clearly spells pain
Just enough is happiness, and too much really means less
Less happiness than before, and the money doctor
Will cruelly prescribe fasting for the rest of your life
If you still ignore the doctor, you will win a ticket
A free ticket to a non-stop bullet train to the grave
Always had this question even when I was a little girl
Never asked this question as you were busy being rich
Is it too late now to ask kneeling in front of your grave?
For you can't answer while you are taking a long rest
You probably never knew whether you were rich enough
For your parents never taught you the important lesson
Born unlucky with my stomach full as you ate for me
Probably enough for my children and grandchildren too
Let me go on an immediate workout regiment to give away
Give to all who were lucky born hungry to parents who ate
Bred a generation of hungry souls who knew when to quit
Walk away from the dinner table before it is too much
Give away to the needy, and beg for their blessing on me
For my generation to regain the precious healthy hunger
Embrace the ritual of the sacred penance of giving myself
Give as much as my soul pleads me to do, and do listen
Treasure the sharing of my fortunes, and gain in sharing
Like palming water from the vast ocean, just to return it
Back to the vastness to feel the fortune of playing the role
Of a giver and take the proud bow with the divine gratitude
