Long long ago there lived a man.
man even now lives you might say.
This man who lived ages back
looked not extraordinary
had no wealth exorbitant
not educated highly
telling you all the negatives
I am trying to build up an image.
Again, this man being simple and straight
a diligent worker and great thinker.
He thought of his shortcomings
He slowly came out of them
waging a calm battle.
He earned little spent even less
kept his family in decent status
tending to them with love and care.
In his leisure he read books
he not only read them
but followed the precepts
ended up compiling a great book
This ordinary man became a bard
in no short time
