Promotion cometh neither from east nor west, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India


Promotion cometh neither from east nor west
a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Don't think I am writing humour,
I tell you it's a serious sure,
If I had place value,
Everyone would have liked this for sure.

Place a lamp at the doorpost,
It will give a lot of light,
Place a lamp at the footstool,
Light won't ever be bright.

Yet this is also very true,
Diamonds hail from the coal mine,
Once found and polished,
It's always a part of the crown.

Prosperity cometh neither from the east,
Nor does it come from the west,
Whomsoever He wills, He grants,
The world considers it the best
