Deception Poem by DASHARATH NAIK

Forget about the back-seat driver
Go on working against the clock
Even become a night owl if needed

Take the bull by the horns
Remember not any bad hair day
It's a long journey from rags to riches, my friends!

Feathers in the cap
Means much more than anything else
Turn a deaf ear to your critics
Your work or labour
Already down the drain can't be restored
You are responsible for your doldrums
Go ahead restlessly.

Breathe at fresco
Have a soft spot for the downtrodden
The destitute, the guests of hunger
With kisses of poverty tormenting them all their way
Be fair and square in your manners
Never pass the buck
Face it yourselves
A sea change awaits for you
The result of your sincere and honest labour.

Something eye candy can't bring any good
Be a sacred cow hand in gloves With your heart and soul
hold your horses
Strike a cord for your yew
Slay your impatience and anger
Innumerable opportunities are waiting for you.

Be enamored with charming island
And they will rise en masse
For a warm welcome and applause.
