Wonder I , why people  enjoy curtailing another's growth ;

Or clipping off his wings, because of ego, jealousy or wrath !

Excuses they cook up easily,  making a delicious broth.

Or to drop him; in crystal clear waters,  add dangerously slippery,  soapy froth.

By doing this, harm they someone's career,
his efforts or his  goals;

Their ruthless unconcerned behaviour is saddening, in trying to portray  diamonds as coals.

Ahura,  may I always encourage young or old; any newcomers, to reach their goals;

never ill treating them, or pulling them down, or at  them, poking holes.

Instead,  may I treat them like seedlings that potentially will grow to luxuriant trees

Those trees, that will someday shade provide n give fruits,  flowers n cool breeze.

Try I will to them encourage; to bring out their potential n energy release.

A dog in the  manger be not; instead be a promoter to someone, please.
