DOG IN THE MANGER
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.
