Mediocrity
meets miasmic apathy,
Offering pitiless sympathy
as we sink into penniless poverty
there is no such thing as a lost cause
compassion can cure curious circumstances
some do out of altruism not in need of applause
The poor man is a steam engine with many flaws
content with coal, whistles like a pressure cooker
scorched bottom layer of rice is burnt but becomes tough.
