Entitlement

Every event, word mirrors the person
Nothing issues from nothing
Cause and effect travel together,
Impact irreversible, unfathomable! 

Gone are the days of empires, thrones
Acquired as irrefutable entitlements
By grain or chaff like folks.
Onlookers were dumb spectators! 

Worth dwells deep as a seed 
Shoots, blossoms mere manifestations
Growth comes from embedded energy.
Power invisibly raises head vainly! 

Wingless flight never on view
Stagnant water stinks, unpotable
Shade follows solar flower in sky.
Titles reflect sweat shed by passion! 

Effort vital base for all
Sloth permits no growth
Nest shows proper path.
Entitlement surely a shallow shell!
