Joint Family

Joint family has features better

Always prove a trend setter

Of future that is ahead

Like flour when it is knead

Binds fraternity tag more cohesive

None of the members appears apprehensive

For there is unison in matters all

Cozy comforts with no thud or fall

Unite we stand divide we fall

In family joint comes out call

Learn things to love happy

Cordial relations without worry

It is the temple full of love

Smooth sailing with no row

Joint family is conducive to grow

Seeds of love always it sow

Not you, me or he has to work alone

Joint effort work they never postpone

It provides us a joint mess

Consuming things never they say less

Accommodates both rich and poor

Pooled funds work no relations sour

Work together with no grin

'Life they lead full of discipline

It is family run on wheels four

Sheen and prosperity always they explore

Like a nation it has strength

Foes it keeps at arm's length

Let us foster its culture deep

Cohseive thoughts harvest bumper it will reap.

Happiness and satisfaction

Tired of ongoing days,

At the same time nostalgic about missing these days.

The fatty are jealous of the thin ones,

The skinny are jealous of the healthy ones.

Those who are rich might wonder about being good-looking,

Those who are good-looking might admire being rich.

Those who are happy might not be satisfied,

Those who are satisfied pray to be happy.

Those who are single yearn for a soulmate,

Those in relationships blame themselves for their downfall.

Those with good content might not have good viewership,

Those whose videos go viral wish for good content.

Those who are famous might not be satisfied due to dignitary restrictions,

Ordinary people aspire to be like the famous ones.

Those who are good speakers might not have good vocabulary,

Those with superb vocabulary might not have a good audience.

Those who are good politicians might not get votes,

Those who won the elections might not be real politicians.

Those who have talent might not get a good platform,

Those who have perfect opportunities might not extract their inbuilt talent.

Both happiness and satisfaction rarely coexist.
