It’s no more now “TURTLE, HARE TALE”
But a rat-race between heart and soul
What is “to win”, what is “to fail”
How new definitions have trampled ole!

Winners are the ones who make ladders
Of “donkeys” at their disposal
Then climb to heights above their peers
For them, win’s a business proposal!

Since speed became our ethnic need
Who waits for turtles, rabbits win
High on a dose of corporate creed –
For success, it’s sanctioned, to sin!

Old adage, is, worth an outrage
In modern age, it’s wise, to chase
Impossible dreams with a mean message –
SLOW AND STEADY (NEVER) WINS THE RACE!
