A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.


Living all over the world taught me when I was little

I must not look for foreign approval, I need to mold not just wittle

Myself is really the only one I need

Real friends will stay by me for every success and bad deed

A professional ego is what I grew into

Humility on the outside

But look deeper it hits you

Arrogant only in business and it rarely comes out

But outside of that I know who I am without doubt

This city's what taught me

The culture's what taught me

I keep to myself 

I ride an old camry, no need for bugatti

And I keep few close friends

And don't care for the trends

Consistency is what's in

I spoke more than one language, learned self defense as a kid

But is that where it stops, is that all that I did?

Oh no!

The rest of my life's up for bid 

To learn even more languages in life

To us self defense when comes strife

And with this, I can get through life by myself

Morals, that's what I put on my shelf

The basic ideas to the ones I shaped in the shop

And the ones I learned as a child 

I will fulfill till I drop

And never stop.

Analyze, don't just notice

Not just to look but to focus.

Praying mantis, not just a locust

Be advanced, but ingenious

And next to Godliness is cleanness.

I may never meet the Pope, 

But I am a person worth meeting.

I'm Indian, I may never get a fever, 

But I am a person worth treating.

And Lebron may never play

but I am a person worth beating.

This ego buried deep inside

but humility coats my human hide

A civil moat contains my complex pride

And as I sprint through moist and dry

The high the low, Everest, The Nile

From my hometown to my homeland

In my own words, be always real,

and live by morals, life's in my hands.

A peom about the experience that my father put me through to feel what he felt as a child, and the lessons he taught my to live by, his morals and the ones I've adopted so far. Feel free to share
