The niceties of life
lie not in the quantity
be it in the quality
not the wealth that counts
it is the ethics that bounds
the discipline holds
the ostentation withholds
the grace is the requisite
the snobbishness is the deficit
the gentleness lifts one
the wickedness lets loose in the run
the kindness signals a strength
the evil pronounces a dent
whatever it could be in life
let poise be your strife
one hour of glory is impressive
than hundreds of hours of ignominy
could a life of glory be achieved
it would be a triumph indeed!
