Joint Family

Joint family has features better
Always prove a trend setter
Of future that is ahead
Like flour when it is knead
Binds fraternity tag more cohesive
None of the members appears apprehensive
For there is unison in matters all
Cozy comforts with no thud or fall
Unite we stand divide we fall
In family joint comes out call
Learn things to love happy
Cordial relations without worry
It is the temple full of love
Smooth sailing with no row
Joint family is conducive to grow
Seeds of love always it sow
Not you, me or he has to work alone
Joint effort work they never postpone
It provides us a joint mess
Consuming things never they say less
Accommodates both rich and poor
Pooled funds work no relations sour
Work together with no grin
‘Life they lead full of discipline
It is family run on wheels four
Sheen and prosperity always they explore
Like a nation it has strength
Foes it keeps at arm’s length
Let us foster its culture deep
Cohseive thoughts harvest bumper it will reap.

Happiness and satisfaction

 

Tired of ongoing days,
At the same time nostalgic about missing these days.
The fatty are jealous of the thin ones,
The skinny are jealous of the healthy ones.
Those who are rich might wonder about being good-looking,
Those who are good-looking might admire being rich.
Those who are happy might not be satisfied,
Those who are satisfied pray to be happy.
Those who are single yearn for a soulmate,
Those in relationships blame themselves for their downfall.
Those with good content might not have good viewership,
Those whose videos go viral wish for good content.
Those who are famous might not be satisfied due to dignitary restrictions,
Ordinary people aspire to be like the famous ones.
Those who are good speakers might not have good vocabulary,
Those with superb vocabulary might not have a good audience.
Those who are good politicians might not get votes,
Those who won the elections might not be real politicians.
Those who have talent might not get a good platform,
Those who have perfect opportunities might not extract their inbuilt talent.
Both happiness and satisfaction rarely coexist.
