Wading Through Life. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Life, a roller coaster,
is a mixture of hardship
and ease.
Remaining honest in both the situations affords success
and glees.

Wealth makes one showy,
egocentric and complicated.
Despite riches, remaining
simple makes one accepted
and trusted.

Anger harms self
long before it harms others.
Maintaining cool and calm
fetches one happiness.

Help if you can,
expect not in return.
Such qualities generate patience, the mightiest weapon.
