You have one face and I’ve many
Bees roam around you, they won’t be afraid
And collect nectar and enjoy themselves
But it won’t happen to me!
You attract others with your beauty
I attract others with money and power
People like to see, touch and have you with them
But it won’t happen to me!
You spread aroma around you
And, I spread stench around me
But, I’m conscious about the truth
You have a short life but leave a lesson for us
At the end you turned to shine
As a star in the tresses of Maa Chamundeshwari
Where you get moksha.
But I’ll go with ego, pride, greediness, jealousy,
Desire, and destroying everything.
