Samanyan Lakshminarayanan - WEALTH

A bounty of wealth lies there untouched-
eventhough the whole world is after wealth
a bounty of wealth still lies there untouched.
A valueless wealth it may be-
we are all after wealth with a value.
Where do we start?
Where are we going to finish?
This rat race for wealth.
Why should we finish?
This craving for wealth seems natural
wanting to own the world also seems natural
What made this craving into a rat race?
VALUE?
When there is an uptrend in value-
one group of rats are after it.
When ther is a downtrend in value too-
another group of rats are after it.
When one looses wealth another gains-
why because of VALUE and that's why a rat race- still even
a bounty of wealth lies there untouched
a valueless wealth it may be- or may be
the 'WORLD' could be its value.
