If you are lost in revelry and not listening to a word of what was said
If you are keeping cool and calm when everyone else is losing their head
Ask someone to explain the situation to you (if they haven’t yet fled)
If you have lots of troubles be sure only tell them to your foes
They are the only ones who really want to listen to all your woes
And take delight in it. Friends will follow you wherever the path goes
If pride tips the scale slightly self-worth expands into ego and we view
Each achievement as our own. Somebody who contributed does not get His due
He feels, “How can you possibly be a self-made man; I specifically recall creating you”
“If you missed the sunrise today never mind. I will make you another one tomorrow”
Which omnipotent force can make such a promise! There is reverence to show
Life is gratitude living is attitude from clay to the man who conquers space we grow
If man spends a lifetime making money they will call him a fool for not spending
If man spends it after following their advice they ask why his lifestyle is not upending
Some folks have special talents for inquisitiveness asking questions unending
If we cannot count the numbers correctly we cannot flatten the curve
Ignorance is flaunted rules are trounced and truth is kept in reserve
So this is how we go about saving a genus called mankind to preserve
If we learn from all our mistakes then what will we repeat
If we work from home and grow flippers what will we do with our feet
Life is full of conundrums we cannot overcome. Thus we learn to cheat
If a person doesn’t have one sense then all their other senses are amplified
That’s why those without sense of humor have sense of self-importance magnified
Now that I cracked this truism I can recount the ones of whom I am petrified
If we are not learning life lessons when there is a world-wide calamity
If lockdown did not bring out in us chef cleaner leader just any ability
Then I promise you we are fighting two viruses corona and stupidity
