Some Moron ! Some Great !!

I received an apt message on whatsapp today (see picture).

Loosely it means: You might have just celebrated Independence-Day and shined on the internet. You might have uploaded National-Flag on Facebook, g+, whatsapp, etc. But have you 'uploaded' it in your pocket if you spotted it 'downloaded' by someone on streets?

Thanks to the message by Doctor Sagar.
It aroused poetry in me. Here goes the poem:

Some Moron ! Some Great !!!

Size of the country hardly matters My-Bros

Where No-one picks up, But Everyone throws

In no-time, such broke-country goes to Crows !

Where Some pick up, But Some throw

Everyone hits such country as A Foe !!

Where All pick up, But No-one throws

Hats off to such country that everyone bows !!!

The context here is not only about the flag left unattended to or left on street but it is also about leaving the following¹ unattended to:

1/ Dirt, Garbage, etc. 

2/ In-disciplined behaviors

3/ Irregularities

4/ Inadequacies

5/ Irrationalities

6/ Corruption

7/ Lack of governance, etc. 

Version in Marathi Language as follows:

काही गहाण ! तर काही महान !!

काही महान ! तर काही गहाण !!

असो देश मोठे वा असो लहान, 

काही गहाण, तर काही महान II

उचलायला जिथे कोणी नाही 

करायला मात्र सारेच घाण

पडतो नक्कीच तो देश गहाण!

उचलतात काहीजण 

पण करतात कचरा बरेचजण

हाणावी देशात त्या वहाण !!

टाकायला जिथे कोणीच नाही 

काढायला परि सारेच कचरा-घाण ¹

असे खरंच तो देश महान !!!

Now anybody can decide anytime:

What kind of countrymen do we live in the company of?

What kind of country do we live in: Moron-one Or The-Great?

Just revisit the poem to take a Momentary-Test....

What's The Learning?

In the first-type of countries, 'Self' always comes first ! The country hardly matters to most citizens including that to a typical selfish politician leader. In first-type of country, men-n-women not only forget to pick up a scrap-paper but also forget their respectable flag. They don't however forget to pick up even a torn currency-note from streets.

In the third-type of countries, honoring their own country is the top-most behavior for it's citizens, then comes their workplace and last comes their-own-self ! For third type of countrymen, flag is respectable anyway. They don't throw even a scrap-item nor even a chaff on floor !

Footnote-1, In the Kaizen context this is about elimination of Muda-Mura-Muri and Dirty-Danger-Difficult (3-D) situations. Muda is resultant waste due to Mura i.e. unevenness or inconsistencies and Muri i.e. irrationalities or overburden. कचरा-घाणीचा संदर्भ हा फक्त कचरा-घाणीपूरता नसून अव्यवस्था, बेशिस्त वागणुक, गैरव्यवहार, भ्रष्टाचार, इत्यादी सा-याशीच आहे.  Third type of countrymen do Five-S Kaizens and MISER in order to get rid of the resultant mess!
