When vision is blurred, you failed to see,
Movement restricted and world not free,
Whole world come to a grinding halt,
You seemed to think your actions are at fault,

There is straight principle which works silently,
Slight gain if you work and cheat conveniently,
Raise little to show you progress constantly,
Conscience not clear to show satisfaction instantly,

When success blinds and you see no further,
Take it as if you have lost vision together,
You may have vision but in fact blind,
Some force working from within and behind,

You may not like to see the reasons,
No change or alterations in seasons,
Only change if life style or thinking,
May push you forward in stage sinking,

Nothing will impress or deter,
No amount of persuasions alter,
You live in your own world,
Relations freeze as ice in cold,

You get beating at appropriate time,
You seemed to have everything as goal prime,
Suddenly it appears you are on decline,
Nothing goes well and out of line,

No one is obeying your command,
Unfair talks and unreasonable demand,
You are loosing grip and out of gear,
Unwanted things you are forced to hear,

This all leads to your imminent fall,
Powerful signals and immediate call,
Resist the temptation before it is too late,
Family may turn against and start to hate,

Nothing will go well at eleventh hour,
Flower may be there but without flavour,
All odds and nothing in favour,
No warmth in relation but completely sour

Success should not always blind,
Arrogance and pride should not bind,
Always compromise with nature mild,
Nature too mixing and approach kind
