Living in poverty is a piece of art; have been practicing it by slogging in cold and dark<\/p>\n
Roast I myself in the heat of the sun; juggle I, with my family unable to meet their ends
\nPromise I, silently to work harder daily; hoping to see my children grow merrily
\nNone of this I succeed to achieve; question I internally and put a check on my speed<\/p>\n
I look around and see powerful people with more wealth but work of no sort
\nWonder how their accumulation match, when they only sit idle and talk
\nFind I this equation wrong and inquire the injustice showered upon
\nEagerly now I search for my fellow poor, unite them to challenge this status quo<\/p>\n
Join I, a group in my neighbourhood, learn I, to raise my voice and issues
\nHear I, my peers suffering in shame, powerless we feel with unbearable pain
\nChallenge I my master, lived where I have for years and taken scores of orders
\nFail I, to convince him of his numerous unfairness and disorders<\/p>\n
Just enough he gives me to stay alive, wish I had lesser, to revolt and fight
\nBreaking the chain of poverty is another piece of art; determined I am to shatter them apart
\nConvinced I get with the argument of a wise man, committed to selflessly uplift my clan
\nCommit I too, to devote my life; end inequality and bring the change that I dreamt of, all the time<\/p>\n
Borrow again I money from my master, tell him to pay back even faster
\nAgrees he on one condition, my family serves him until redemption
\nSlave they become of a crazy man, spend their life in remand
\nI use my time to learn and screen, serve my people to achieve their dream<\/p>\n
Never will I relax in the days to come; until the inequalities are undone and gone
\nPower will I snatch, from those who are with it, surrounded and attached
\nSpace will then be ushered to all whose dignities were crushed
\nRise will they and lead the not-haves; to end the emperorship of the haves<\/p>\n
Create together we will our own piece of art,
\nMarvelled will it be by generations in charm
\nMagical this change will benefit us all, categories of rich and poor will fall
\nSacrifices of many will be remembered in humility; inequality in Nepal will never spark enmity<\/p>\n
