The Rich Man And Lazarus !

A rich man in purple and fine linen lived in fame ,
Led a life of luxury every day that was dreamt never ,
A beggar at his gate was in torments,Lazarus by name,
Used to wait for crumbs with sores,a desperate beggar,
Alas! even dogs licked his wounds,led a life of shame.

Lazarus died angels carried him to Abraham's bosom,
So happened the rich man also died ,he was buried,
In Hades,lifted up his eyes amid torments gruesome,
Found Lazarus up with Abraham,made him worried,
He prayed for mercy,could not be got by any ransom?

He begged Lazarus for water to drench his tongue,
"I am in torments,in flame and in great anguish,"
But 'You in lifetime had all good things,' no wrong
Abraham said,'Lazarus now comforted that's God's wish
In God's eye good and bad will equally boomerang

In between paradise and hell a great gulf rent,
The rich cried,'send Lazarus to my father's house,
All my five brothers in sinful life, make them repent,
Lazarus alone can testify them and to reality rouse.
Alas!they rejected Moses,What Lazarus could do if sent,
