Authority

Authority doesn't mean barging into someone's personal workspace,

Showing airs, carrying a stern face.

Authority doesn't give liberty to anyone to be rude at daybreak,

Forgetting all manners of wishing and greeting,

Yet still expecting others to smile and bow before you.

Don't deem it essential that everyone will obey the rule of harshness.

Let others have their way.

While you may be a believer and worshipper of strict ways,

Others might know how to work in a friendly and sweet way—

Especially while dealing with tender hearts who might at times go astray,

And may have weird ways,

They may also have adamant sways,

But to someone, they are the most precious assets and jewels.

Once in a while, a few flaws can be overlooked,

Once in a while, a dish of guiding discourse for them without chilli can be cooked.

Authority must have humility,

Politeness and equality.

If you are out to reform and reset, the focus shouldn't be a sole niche or a corner.

Let your light spread far and near,

Above and below,

So that like the Sun, you can glow.

One must not forget that there's always a comparison,

Because in the same corner, when the person on the chair marches,

A crimson glow spreads everywhere,

Every heart is filled with glee and words of wisdom softly flow.

Then what is the point of all this attitude that spoils someone's day,

Since not everyone follows the principle of "let go".
