Humane Song

July 1, 2010 Off By Manjil P. Saikia

Try not to show how downtrodden you are;
Everyone amongst us is equal; God send us here.
That lazy face admits no admittance.
There is no place in the heart for woes’ acquaintance.
Morning through night toil is the lot of all
Even if you fear it you must dare once fall.
Seemingly unknown if you keep your smile hidden;
Then you miss the path which you were untrodden
World would be a disgrace for thy ever
Trust in yourself and say not you fail never;
If the Tristan did betray; then leave it childish fate
Search among the ones you respect as your mate,
But this you must know men; you are born,
To die and don’t think you can never be torn.
