Pradnya Surve
Affluent and opulent
Haughty about his wealth
He walks with his head held high
A ceaseless scramble
In his incessant quest for more treasure
He needs it for his pleasure
Material prosperity piles up
But humility and gratitude dips down
On a heartless sprint he goes
Many a innocent soul
Crushed beneath his toes
Blinkers on his eyes
His conscience behind closed doors
Oblivious that affluence is interim
Life is moving not stationary
Destination is dusty
Avarice makes you rusty
Existence in this beautiful creation
Meaningful with humility and gratitude
Oh rapacious man
Wealth is an illusion
Transform your greedy attitude
To gain heavenly beatitude
