O Man

O Man
------------

O Man, spare some energy for mankind

They are your co-journey persons and need your help.

O Man, you are deluged in own fantasies & dream world

Take out some time to see the ground realities.

O Man, they are co-brethren and live in penury

Develop some establishments, they can also find employment.

O Man, you are surrounded by experts, claiming to know something

Your men are illiterate, show some light to them also.

You are housed in comforts & luxuries dreamt by many

Create some conditions so that all can live with honour.

You are man of freedom of ideas & interact with finest books

Your men are just sandwiched in superstitions & a fixed mind.

You are an exploring mind to the extent possible & take out best

Their capabilities remain fixated & no way seen to use much mind.

You are trained in best schools, colleges with very good teachers

They are forced in schools without rooms, toilets & even teachers.

You are given all required infrastructure for development of self

They have meagre tools, no know-how / prescription & hence half-concepts.

You roam in world with best transport means & staying facilities

They remain closeted in villages, small towns, slums & don’t see much world.

You interact with many persons & have opportunities to learn 

They remain fixed with few people & bigger world not much opened to them.

O Man, your job is mainly to brood & direct the attached ones

They are mere labourers just obeying orders of higher ones.

You work in cosy, lighted rooms & much available on just desire

They are just like beasts of burden & fatigued like always seen.

O Man, you do not go to people and ask their how-about

This is not a fair approach as not-letting communication.

All people have right to develop self, so conditions need be created

Absence causes many lives half-filled & not seeing full light.

The best medicines, care is available and you live generally long

They are weak, gazing despairingly & don't get enough calories.

You can preserve, rear children in good way & live life of affluence

They don't have much to leave; children follow same & thus miserable lives.

You can think & strategize best due to benefits of training & education

They are poor designers of lives and generally fail in pursuits.

You are able to influence worthy ones & take decisions as required

They don't have approach such and romp just from pillars to posts.

O Man, share some to reduce gaps created artificially due to selfishness

You can modify social ways by thinking & actions.

Remember they have also showered their little boons for your happiness

Now your duty is to pay back a little, with all due sincerity & honesty.
