महफ़िल भरी थी, फिर भी भीड़ में, एक दिल था अकेला ।

ऐसा भी नहीं है की खूबसूरत नहीं था मेला ।

थी वहां चेहल पहल, समा था बहुत ही रंगीला ।

संगीत था, थी खुशबू, आलम था अलबेला ।

यह दिल करता नहीं फरियाद, पर दुःख अपनोसे ही उसे है मिला;

गम हैं इस बात का की अपनो ने ही, अपना न समझा; इस लिए हो गया वो अकेला ।

केहनेको तो, अपने थे सभी वहां;  ऐसे तो था सब अपनो का ही यह मेला ।

फिर भी न जाने क्यों, अपनो के बीच, था वो बेचारा दिल, बिलकुल अकेला ।

A doctor is always remembered if he is competent, considerate n kind

Even the excruciating pain, the patient sometimes doesn't mind.

A doctor's treatment, effective is, when with physical therapy, emotional is combined

Also in this team work, when the patient's relative, d doc includes n binds.

Ketanbhai, indeed lucky is the patient, if a doctor like you, he finds.

Fondly remember I will, you celebrating my Zoi's 10th b'day; when the clock backward winds.

Our Suryakant Shah (Grandpa) n Madhuri Masi, n docs from my family n friends, always remember I will

Above all, my Nurgesh Aunty, who saved my life during ectopic, with gratitude, my memory fill.

My deep gratitude, respect n thaaaaanks to all you dear docs, who kindly with their patients deal.

A KITE
High in the sky, I fly; soaring really really  high.

To stay there,  with all my heart, I sincerely did try.

From up there,  into matters of importance, I tried to pry.

With pride and ego, afloat stayed I, in the vast sky.

Felt I, to Earth stay connected ; after all, why should I ?

To float around, to bloat around, definitely , decided I.

But God, a plan had otherwise.

now my "Karma", made me cry.

Broke the thread that me connected ,so very high.

Pride, disconnected me, leaving me all alone, high n dry.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O Ahura,
Unto Thee, with all my heart, I sincerely pray.

Do not, o please do not, my plea, simply discard away.

Help n bless the people who are trying to good do, for our planet, which does ail.

It hurts a lot when hard work, patience, perseverance and faith fail.

In You, we fully trust, but when often wins evil, it dampens our spirit.

Let good over evil win; for this, need do not the good, any merit.

Understand Your ways we cannot; but help us in our endeavours good.

If You, our kind Lord won't; there can't be another. who else would ?

Innocents being killed by fanatics; dreadful it is, allow this do not.

Trees,

A little madness

Sometimes it's good to be a little mad.
Sing a song or dance when you are sad.
But remember, never to be angry; that's really bad.

I seeds collect, scatter and sow;
Sometimes, them I just fling or throw;
With a hope, they will perhaps grow.

Silly it may look, but I show love, to a pup;
Offering him a little milk, in an old cup.
Or some warm soup, that he can gulp.

Give an old blanket to an old shivering man.
I pack my leftovers and distribute, if I can.
You can do more; Madness does not have a ban.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ALL I WISH.....

All I wish to say is eat,  enjoy as much as you wish but first taste;

On your plate take as much as you wish; but do not waste.

Think deeply about the consequences, of  the many hungry mouths, before you waste.

When millions go hungry, It's a sin to fill your plate in a haste;

Eat, enjoy, refill if required but let food not waste.

Same applies to water; upto the brim,  do not fill the glass.

You may be ***** rich n think, stylish you are , with a class;

But remember your grandchildren may have to pay a fortune for just a glass.

Carry your bottle till you finish; or water the plants with that half glass.

And most importantly, help me spread my message to the mass(es).

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happy may you always stay.
May all that is best on a platter lay.
May peace n happiness go with you, all the way.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ALONE

Alone we come, and alone we go.

Without relatives, friend or foe.

Difficult to follow, easy to advise give;

But learn we must all, to alone live.

Man, a social animal may perhaps be,

But accompanies him no one; goes alone he.

Except parents, most relationships, selfish are.

To establish this fact, one needn't go far.

His own, whom he consideres his, cause him pain.

Or often silent, callous or indifferent remain.

So though a social being, learn he must to mostly live alone.

I think his best companions are prayers, music n his smart phone.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

This torturing nightmare seems to last a bit too long;

In my dream, I yearn to sing once again, yet haven't sung a song

Wake up I wish to afresh, like before, when goes the morning gong.

I ask myself, is this stark reality or is this a horrid dream?

In a state of denial am
I; or is it a situation grim?

All I can say is, my eyes n heart are still searching him

A secret longing there is, to him n Mom again see

To accept a departure permanent, easy isn't; knew this even he.

So many dear ones, to help, many different opinions give me;

But absolutely confused are, my heart n so is my blurry mind;

a constant conflict goes on; I really need to accept n unwind

Help I need, help I seek, can you, a helpful person please find.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Always remember to speak softly n gently.
Please don't bark, after all we are not dogs.

Please don't eat like there is no tomorrow; after all we are not hogs.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A MARTYR'S CRY

Died I, most willingly, for my Mother land

Bothers no one weather in water or sand.

Left behind were my beloveds, parents, kids, wife.

No one will ever understand their sorrow n strife.

A soldier for his nation, gives his all.

He fights unto his breath last, n then falls.

People I wish so indifferent n callous were not.

Respect they would every soldier who valiantly fought.

O God in Heaven, this respect, to them, please teach.

For our Army, a prayer, compassion, respect some, I beseech.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A MERE MORTAL

So ordinary,  just a miniscule little creature created I am, by the  greatest of all, all-powerful  Ahura

A spec of dust or a grain of sand,  or perhaps a drop of water, in this universe,  created by mighty Mazda

Wish I to know why, then, we men ordinary,  mere mortals, think so much, n so high about ourselves?

Why do even scholars great, learned men like Ravan fail? How do we correct or control ourselves ?

Why do we have an ego so inflated, when we are, just a bubble? Why in this mere mortal does ego dwell ?

Like a flooded, destructive river or sometimes even like a huge mighty tsunami wave, it does swell

O kind  Lord, help this mere mortal, to this ego problem understand; where stands this thin line between ego n self respect?

Confused, entangled into my own web I get; a mere mortal, my own decision,  I  sometimes suspect.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MY DEAREST REVERED ANCESTORS,
My heart aches n tears roll down.
I feel miserable, when people frown.
Frown at our sentiments, our feelings strong.
Ask they, "in marrying out side what is wrong"

Forgotten all about our great ancestors they have, so soon.
From my ancestors today I ask an important boon.
O revered forefathers, help us, so that your sacrifice is not a waste  
Help us please, to overcome this crisis, in a haste.
Help us please, to multiply, to survive.
Grant us a boon to save our religion n revive.
Aedoon baad.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O MOON

O Moon, if I were a man, an enchantress call you,  I would

For very easily lure me  in just a seconds few,  you could

Ah! I do not know why n what lures me to you; my eyes get glued

Bright n silvery you look on a full-Moon day, enchanting is the sight

As peep out of the clouds you do, playing hide n seek, at that height

O Moon, await I eagerly to see you; n your beauty admire every night

Romance fills the atmosphere as you beautifully rise in all your glory full

Smiling sweetly at me, peeping from silvery white clouds, look which, like wool

From a hammock, amidst trees admire you, as you lull me to sleep with breeze cool

Wish mankind wouldn't dispose your truth n the enigma that you hold

Though, to land on you, to conquer you, was a step scientific, very bold;

I still want you to be the enchantress that you are, luring me, not just material cold

Armin Dutia Motashaw

BEJAN N MANIJEH (from the  SHAHNAMEH)

A young, immature, emotional,  romantic fool she was

Didn't think she of the dire consequences, a spontaneous action, of course;

Did not realise she, that soon there would be a havoc, a heavy penalty with many a clause

Hence, of lots of trouble, she would, in the future,  be the cause

Manijeh's  immaturity, Bejan's overconfidence n attraction, did trouble cause

Love is spontaneous; but along with it come sacrifices, they didn't think, didn't pause.

Lessons many learn we have to, n before any actions, we definitely need to consider social laws

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happiest Happy birthday my angel divine.

Accept our love, prayers and Wishes combine (d).

Surely my soulmate you must be, darling Mother;

I certainly know, like you, there cannot be another.

Though now, gone away from us, you have very far;

Your loving memories, forever, filled in my heart are.

After death, confirm this cannot any religious text;

But pray Ahura I do, to reunite us soon, in our incarnation next.

Please be my loving caring Mother again and again.

If happens this, immense joy, I will surely gain.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST JERU JAAN.

Your children
Vispi, Anar n Shez

Ever dearest Zoish,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL.
Our little princess has turned eight today. Teeny weeny she was the other day.
Hopes she, to become an artist someday.
Loves she to dance, sing n be happy n gay.
Little one,  pride of the community, may you be,  soon one day.
Ahura kind,  bless her n stay with her all the way.
Blessings n love
Dae, Maa, Shez Mum, Phil Dad and Freyanush.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Sometimes, animals us important things teach.

Unlike men, they practice what they preach;

Neither like men,  they don't expect to become rich

Think of a monkey, who closes taps, to water save.

A dog, for his master willingly his life gave.

Chetak risked his own life to his master save.

Many fight men's enemies and are really brave.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happy Anniversary to my darlings...

O M G, years past have ten.
So says that click- clock, BigBen.
Time just flew by, how n when.

May you two, with your two, spend many more years of joy.
Thank Ahura I do, for my cutie pies, girl n boy.
Though I do wish, you'll had one more cuddly toy.

We wish you success, we wish you joy.
May happiness be yours, through Fre n Zoi-Moy
Be the pride of the family, community n country, traveling in a convoy.

Loads of love and all good wishes. Hugs and kisses.
Bapi, Dad n Mom.

Congratulations and celebrations.

43 years of togetherness in relations.

Of togetherness, have may you  many more years.

With family n friends, let's say cheers.

We wish both of you lots of good luck, good health n wealth fair.

Of happiness n bliss may you have a very big share.

Lots of love and good wishes.

सो गई है आज, चिर निंद्रामे लताजी, हमारी स्वर साम्रगीनि

शांत हो गए हैं सुर, चुप हो गए हैं साज़, रो रही है रागिनी

आज तो दुःखी है संगीतकी पूरी दुनिया, खुशी किसीने छीन लिनी

हर राग रागिनी रोते है, हर गायिका का गला रुंधा हुए हैं, कहाँ चली गयी उनकी संगिनी

अमर हो गई, आज शांति से सो गई भारतकी कोकिला, अपनी स्वर साम्रगीनि।

Lataji I will always love न adore you

AN OUTCAST

One's money, one can easily  blast;

Youth and looks, anyway don't last;

Time ticks on, and keeps changing fast;

People who were revolving around,  now you outcast.

Sadly, soon one starts peeping into one's past;

Realization strikes,  no one n nothing can long last

Armin Dutia Motashaw

AN OWL

He was once strong, bright, young and agile.

Today feels he old, easily tired, sad n fragile.

People mock at him, calling him senile.

Feels he like an old owl now, who can't fly a mile.

Nature has her ways misterious even weird sometimes.

Impaired sight, hearing, smell n activities all slowdown many times.

In youth, he was a champ, an expert, who won many a race.

An athelete once upon a time; now   cannot  climb a staircase.

An old debilitated owl he is now; no more a cash cow.

Awaiting he is his turn to go up, anytime now.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

AN UNPOLISHED STONE

We are mortals absolutely ordinary, perhaps uncut diamonds, like an ordinary unpolished stone;

But try our best we must, as much as we can, in the given circumstances; remembering we are never alone;

Ahura sends us an angel, a guide, a friend time to time; but perhaps in a way sublime

However endeavour we must to our ego shed and listen to that lil voice; which is free, it doesn't cost a single dime.

Cultivate this if we, all fine, soon will be; for Know we all, Ahura has the power n many a wonderful way !

Eventually Ahura, through many an experience or  teachers some, will have this stone shine like a diamond some day !

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ANYTHING KAREGAA FOR AN EENDAA

From early childhood, we Parsis survive hardly can, without an "eenda"

We can hardly, without our eenda in some form or the other, remain "Jinda"

Love we an egg over almost anything, papeta, kheema, vengna-nu-bhartu or bhinda.

Arre! we Parsis often prefer our eenda over delicious sweets, like daar ni pori or a "penda"

Poro, akoori are staple diet in a Parsi household, without which our life is like a "mindaa"

Our passion for these "eendas" actually creates either jealousy, "teeka" or "neendaa"

Whatever be the reason, a Parsi Bawaji almost cannot live without his favourite "EENDAA"

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A PAINFUL DIVORCE

When parents divorce, children suffer the most.

Just because of greedy n aspiring people some;
Who ulterior motives had; a very prosperous state was divided, in fact forced to take a divorce.

Imagine the prosperity that would have been, with  integrity n a little tolerance; today we would be saying Jai Bombay presidency or Happy Bombay Presidency Day.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A PARSI'S VOICE.

SO SAY WOULD, OUR ANCESTORS.
"Far, very far away from my Motherland I am;
Where lived Sohrab, Rustom, Jal and Sam.
Adopted India, after many adjustments I did, as my very own.
Here, by me, seeds of development were sown".

Toiled, sweated n happily gave to our Country, my all.
With my hard work n honesty, I then stood tall.
Of life, I eventually did pass, the difficult test.
Then shared my wealth willingly, I did, with the rest."

In unison, feeling very much at home, here I stay.
All the duties of a good citizen perform I; day to day.
Ask I don't for favours; I, with my arms open, just give.
Shabbily treat me do not; to me, my due respect give.

I ask for nothing more than the protection of my religion.
Request you I, to change your concept n vision.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A Pathetic Reality

Heard I, about this couple elderly, now sadly on the street.

Rich n prosperous they once were, now deprived of every bit.

Once they too were able bodied, absolutely fine,  healthy n fit.

Just now looked they shabby, emaciated, hardly able to sit.

Their sons vanquished them had; lived they now on tiny *** bit(s).

Swollen were their faces tearful; and so were their old feet.

Puzzled  and   shocked they looked, beyond their wits.

A social worker now took them to a home for the aged, in transit.

With help from a legal team, got back they, their every bit.

Now their palatial villa is a comfortable home for the aged, cushy n sweet.

Adopted the social worker, they have; n threw away their kids, like ****.

They serve the needy with love n care; now besides them sit.

Try they, to independent make them; to live fine and fit.

Changed their pathetic reality this worker; this story is now a big hit.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A PLEA TO ALL, WHO LOVE N RESPECT PARSIS.

O Humdins, come to gather, let us all.
Divided, we will most definitely fall.
Let us to this occasion rise n stand tall.

Bridge build let us, not a wall.
If happens this not, in their court will be the ball.
Get together and unitedly answer this call.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Ahura, please help us to remember only things good n forget all that is bad.

For good things make us feel positive n happy, whereas bad things make us sad.

Negative thoughts make us low feel, wish occurred never, they had

Drive easily they could, any sane and strong human weak or even mad.

Ahura help us become positive and strong; be we, a lass delicate or a weak lad.

Keep us away from company bad or people who are depressed and sad.

Or, so strong make us, that we help them to become strong n positive instead.

May dushmata, dujukt, duversta be gone; n humata, hukt, huvereshta please add.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Bharat is a wonderful country, a sacred land.
Lovingly enveloping all religions, are its Sea n sand.

Us Parsis it supported , nurtured n cared.
We too in return to our country, our best shared.

Then why suddenly this behaviour alien n rude ?
Why are we being given treatment so crude ?

Isn't it the Govts duty to us n our Atash Kadehs protect ?
Why in this rough way, do they today interact ?

Request I our honourable PM to please intervene.
Why is the MMRCL creating a scene ?

Please save our religious places all.
Please do not our faith in you waiver or fall.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A POEM

Even if it, to a  reader, sometimes doesn't make sense;

A poem, a verse, is a feeling  intense;

Doesn't need one an eye or a magnifying lens;

Needs it a reader with a heart,  to catch its true essence.

So  readers must leave their mind aside n feel with their hearts,  A POEM'S ESSENCE.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Every reader of poetry,  pleeeeeeease do read one,  with your heart;

Of a poet's life, his/her feelings, a poem is a very important part.

Do not please sceptical be, or its grammar or spellings correct;

A poet expresses his views, his feelings, which on him, has had a deep impact.

Tries he, to a message share,  about something important that he really does care.

To  crush those delicate feelings, to be harsh on them; will it be really fair???

It is said that a poet reaches the darkest corner,  where doesn't reach the Sun.

Because of anguish, ire, feelings delicate, to read a poem may not always be fun;

Yet, request you I, to always read a poem with your heart,  not your head

Very sensitive is a poet about his work; for all his delicate feelings into a poem he has fed.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

APPEAL

Lord,  these humans,  with their modernization almost my fate did seal;

That's why to You,  I had to sincerely pray and desperately appeal.

Now fate theirs is threatened, and to You they nervously appeal;

Worried they are about their lives; they have themselves sealed.

Flora and fauna today on rejuvenating, with happiness and laughter, peal.

I am now rejuvenating, thank  You Lord, for listening to my appeal

Sorry for them I do feel; but their indiscriminate actions have their fate sealed.

Lord, as You are helping me, them forgive n help them also to heal.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A PRAYER OF MOST PARENTS

O Kind Lord, have pity on us, we know YOU are very kind.

Proper words to my feelings express, I cannot find.

Let me, for my children, a burden be not.

Grant me mobility, and a nature good; not a temper hot.

The strength to understanding n adjustable be.

A sense n ability to another's view point see.

May my Children n Grandchildren always love me.

Lord, When the end is near, stand besides me.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

An  ASHEM,  first thing in the morning, an ASHEM at night

An ASHEM in the scary dark, or an ASHEM in full light.

An ASHEM helps turn things dark and shady into white.

Dawn or dusk, an ASHEM is a must to help us feel  bright ;

Especially if for some reason, we have had a fight.

Helps us it also, to comfy feel, if you under are tension or fright.

An ASHEM before and after every meal is right.

On hearing about a demise, an ASHEM helps him in his plight.

Our prayers beginning with ASHEM, help us reach a great height.

An ASHEM pray all the time,  anytime, day or night.

When ever uncomfortable,  pray an ASHEM with all your might.

Magical effect has ASHEM, if prayed with full faith n pronunciation right.

Armin  Dutia Motashaw

One is a puppet on Your strings
With a switch , one speaks or sings.
Afraid to fall, to Your strings, one clings.
When the role is over, out the puppeteer one flings.

How does one behave, what does one do ?
How long should one really pursue ?
Does one have to work hard,even with a flue ?
What is the level of patience, expected by You?

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ARE WE REALLY CIVILIZED ?

Ask ourselves this we must; are we really civilized ?

The harm we are causing to Nature;
have we this ever realized ?

Pollute we, almost all of Mother Nature's valuable elements;

Ignoring Her wellness n brutally hurting Her sentiments.

Her flora, fauna, rivers, Seas we trouble n torture.

Her mountains we trample upon; in short we destroy Nature.

Even now, do you think we are truly civilized; do you agree with me ?

Let me please know if eye to eye with me you too see.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

To sign a petition for our SHAHEEDS,  people find excuses lame.

Isn't this, on our part a sin; a crying shame!!!

If they show would lethargy or  indifference,  whom would you blame?

If indifferent or dishonest, would  Sam Bahadur rise to fame?

Wake up, shake up, rise above this pretence, pray our soldiers win this deadly game.

In turn let us do something,  for our  SHAHEEDS n soldiers maime(d).

Today,  10 rupees give we to a beggar blind or lame;

Then, WHY CAN'T WE A PETITION SIGN; PLEEEEEEASE here, ADD YOUR NAME.

Can you help me out by signing this petition?

Please sign this above petition for our SHAHEEDS/MARTYRS

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ARE YOU TRULY IMPORTANT???

Please do give this, a serious thought; you are important to only a few, actually  very few.

How many people call to check about your wellbeing, from this we can take a cue;

Parents worried are about your wellness, your whereabouts,  actually about you

Besides them, if inquire other people about your wellbeing, simply lucky are you

So decide how lucky you really are; for call most, only when they need your services,  not you

Armin Dutia Motashaw

With love, I send you this beautiful rose red.

Also take the cuddly teddy I sent you, to bed.

Love me using your heart not your head.

With harshness on my tender emotions, please do not tread.

Or my tender loving heart will break into shreads.

Keep it intact, feed it with tender loving care

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A SACRED DUTY

Every editor,  news reporter,  author has a duty  sacred to perform.

Leaving aside their personal views, adhere they must to  norms.

With ego, selfishness,  greed, one cannot a  publication form.

If we write n publish what for the community or environment is good;

The end result will automatically be positive n good

If avoid clashes we n inculcate unity, results will be **** good.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Left you this Earth, on this day.

From Goarathman, guide us how to keep Ahreman at bay.

Our faith is vanishing; in our heart, help it stay.

O      VAKSHUR-E-VAKSHURAN, you know the situation, I needn't anything say.

Endangered is Your religion, our own people, foul play.

Come please to save us ; or show us the way.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A SHRINKING WORLD

Huge it was, with vast space, plenty of people, and widely open skies;

Now in a room or two, around his bed, wash room n table, in a mess, shrunken it lies.

Umpteen number of people he met daily; heard he sometimes, screams, even their cries

There was noise, commotion, laughter; very many hellos n also good byes

Traveled he widely, using his passages free, especially where Air India flies.

Restrictions age brings n accept this everyone must; this we know, n one definitely tries

But when pain intense becomes, n movements restrictive, then one often cries

Then in helplessness utter, in self-pity n frustration, one sometimes inward pries

Prays to God, appeals to docs many, or Gurus; tries till every tear dries

At last, in his little by little shrinking world, a slow suffocating death he dies

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Lord,
Today ashamed You must be, of Your very own creation.

Men who are suffering from such wicked, brutal, inhuman fixation.

This heartless, headless human, cannot Your creation be;

You O Lord, full of wisdom, love and compassion are; how can there, a relation be.

All we can do is to request You to intervene, and this madness stop.

They just cannot endlessly people ******; like butchers they chop.

Help O Lord the dear ones of every victim, injured or dead.

Their loss irreparable is, but You I kindly request to heal their heart n head.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A  SINCERE REQUEST

Sell your soul,  do not to the wicked satan please.

Be ware, dishonesty is actually a  dangerous disease

Remember, very painful and horrid are his payback fees

This money that you now usurp, tomorrow he will,  from you, cease.

You cannot with your dishonest money,  his palms grease;

With fright, with the seething pain, each day,  your agony will increase;

And your short lived so called joy will soon drastically decrease.

May awaken your temptation filled souls, that are given to him, on lease.

Even now, before it is too late, come out of this ***** muck please.

Dear ancestors,  Zarathushtra, Ahura n Yazads, help them to rise, please .

Armin Dutia Motashaw

AS OLDER I GET

As older I get, only happppppinesss n peace I wish;

Comfort n good health served on a silver dish.

No noise, no drama, no nagging no sarcasm I  want

Say this loud I  n write this I in a LARGE FONT.

Negativity wish I, to keep totally at bay

In my cocoon,  comfortably n cosy I wish to stay

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A SPLENDID ETHEREAL SCENE

Into ecstacy went I, as I drew the curtains translucent, off a huge, transparent window like wall

It seemed, for a while, suddenly entered paradise I had, upon some mystical divine call

A shimmering white sea with chunks of ice was right there,  wherever my eyesight, did fall

This seemed ethereal, out of this world; where this red-orange, shining Sun, looked like a huge fire ball

Even now, as I lightly, gently shut my eyes, appears this majestic scene, and it, me absolutely enthrals !

Feel I, as if Ahura had rejuvenated me anew, n He, fresh, brand-new batteries within me, did install.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ASSETS N LIABILITIES

Till you are fit and fine, people need you.

That's why, remember to healthy stay too.

Always pray that remain you active and ever agile;

You are of no use, once become you weak n fragile.

This World cares for their need; your's matters not.

Understand, assets welcomed are but liabilities not.

So freak out, happy be, enjoy life to the fullest

Eat n drink healthy to agile remain, leave to God the rest.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Suddenly from asset turn we to liabilities
Less becomes the respect; n the facilities.
On retirement, less becomes your importance ;
Because gone is that chair n those assistants .

Remember we must our limitations now.
Or reminded they will be to you somehow.
Even those close to you are now of you wary.
Soon as possible , they will say a formal sorry.

These are the ways of the world; take them in our stride.
Happens this to most retirees,  world wide.
Keep ourselves busy; earn a little if we can.
Above all, remember to help as many as we possibly can.
