STANCE

 STANCE

 

Unmoved his position, stubborn,

Faced criticism preference born,

Speaking against other prohibit,

Adhere to silence gossip he quit, (1)

 

Aloofness attitude, lonely, silent,

Personality honest, pious, decent,

Unique life existence exemplary,

Humiliated hurt insult unsavory, (2)

 

Mocked, yet tolerate, look away,

Stance unperturbed inhibits way,

Now, the surprising thing to sock,

Educated a school teacher luck, (3)

 

A villager students migrate to the city,

Good education plum post pretty,

Proficient in book knowledge, deal,

Never noticed virtue teacher feel, (4)

 

Opposite stance quarrelsome life,

Noisy, abusive, angry, counter strife,

Cause fear uproar win nefarious,

Tearful parents evade yet furious, (5)

 

Students fail to learn stance, rare,

Incapable to follow, hidden repair,

Change personality character well,

Stance not written following tell, (6)

 

Plant a tree, feed pet animals, birds,

Lesson for life kindness, get a reward,

Polite, humble, benevolent living,

Stance missing in book thinking, (7)

 

Help sufferer downtrodden divine,

Selfless acts purify the heart, shine,

Look at the lotus leaf water bubble,

Fail to attach with leaf no trouble, (viii)

 

Similar human life unattached,

Uncorrupt facing dirt scratched,

Observe the lotus, beautiful flower,

Rises from muddy water tower, (9)

 

Unmatched beauty fragrant stay,

Root muddy, like lies, subtly dismay,

Numerous stances, notice, practice,

Human life developed get justice, (10)

 

Prosperous attitude refined praise,

Equals with school teacher haze,

The troublesome part to follow attain,

Stance rare quality lotus leaf gain. (11)
