Dharma

Duty-bound is manifold
To self not alone
But familial, social, national too
In dissolution greed, jealousy, wrath
Earn the self-promoted to provide
Food, clothe, shelter to self not alone
But to family, society, nation too
Delineating Dharma...
Emphatic, a doctrine of virtues
Assertive a chassis of embodied service
Selfless yet selfish for peace
Reminiscing the bygone
An exemplified Ram-Rajya
Emphatic, Dharma be
