EPITOME BOLSTER
Quiet metropolis twilight encroach,
Smokes raise cloud lives approach,
Intoxicate aromas suburb sight nit,
Laborers return late, families greet, (1)
Spider nets narrow paths gleam-lit,
Happiness resides here joy discreet,
Incredible life mysterious smiles all,
Dirty faces invite eyes glint, enthrall, (2)
Small kids play trivial studies often,
Lotus from muddy pond rise notion,
Talent, courage, aspirations hidden,
Tiny-seed sprouts giant tree, smitten, (3)
Inherits castes lower curse well bite,
Poor working-class n labors despite,
Blemish acquires nil struggles hard,
Cruel-fate by birth wins less reward, (4)
Money meager income deprive child,
Education, need money results yield,
Scholarship offer state people strive,
Education, game, sport, youth thrive, (5)
Free country ignore, color class faith,
Skill n performance treasures wealth,
Roots get nameless face obscure soul,
Trailblazer performances zenith goal, (6)
Career scales adhere, executive-post,
Achieves leadership visionary almost,
Inspires nation least forget root clear,
Glorious life inspires land, remember, (7)
Simple life, few cloths less asset gold,
Single soul inspires people best mold,
Clean-life disciplines strong, decisions,
Leads nation single-handed devotions,( viii)
Selfless service demeanors commoner,
Billion plus people elect, same winner,
Youths children learn lessons, dismay,
Where there is will there exist the way, (9)
Slum dweller leads billion people neat,
Astonishes, rich powerful feel discreet,
Never unique case nations witness all,
Lotus grows from muddy water recall, (10)
Hardship struggle endurance, courage,
Qualities extraordinary persons craze,
Power corrupts absolute power totally,
Gold, fame, applause corrupt ego tally, (11)
Unparallel spirit never influences ego,
Slum-dwellers charismatic smile agog,
Decimates deprivation discrimination,
National unity bolsters strong caution, (12)
Selfless service to people nation grows,
Peace progress essential dictate vows,
I once walk evening darkens slum gully,
Electric-feeling spread darkness wooly, (13)
Aromas intoxicate laughter permeates,
Human smile n depravity reciprocates,
Stays standstill in-dark, contemplate,
Motherland needs, poor-kid dominate. (14)
