To survive, you need strength,
The power to stand when storms rage,
To lift burdens heavier than the world allows,
To endure the weight of time’s trials.
You need intelligence,
A mind that reads between the lines,
That sees beyond what eyes can grasp,
That turns obstacles into stepping stones.
You need money,
The currency of survival,
The bridge between hunger and fulfillment,
The ticket to comfort in a restless world.
But above all,
You need morality,
The spine that keeps you upright
When greed whispers its sweet deceit,
When shortcuts tempt the tired traveler,
When truth and falsehood stand side by side,
Waiting for your choice.
Strength can be corrupted,
Intelligence can be misused,
Money can be lost,
But morality,
If held close,
If guarded like a sacred flame,
Becomes the light that never fades,
The guide that never misleads,
The essence that makes survival meaningful.
