Sigh deep I breathe!
In despair I utter the words looming deep on my mind aloud.
What a world!
Where one have to fail for another to excel.
What a life!
Where one have to die for another to live.
What a universe!
Where one enjoys a menial job for survival,
But suddenly he is been replaced by a programmed robot.
What seems to be depriving human of long life
Lies in his envies for more.
He is never satisfied with material things.
He who have enough, always demand for more.
See! That rich man at the age of seventy-five
Up and competing with a man about the age
Of his grandchild for financial superiority;
When he actually need not worry about competition but enjoy his labor.
The end of an unsatisfying wish leads to an unfulfilled desire
But at the end where goes the spirit?
What becomes of his riches which he had toiled for without giving himself rest to enjoy,
It is passed down to another man.
Who knows, whether he will be wise to learn from his predecessor’s mistake
Or grow with the avarice for more riches without legacy.
If emotions has to go with spirit,
The rich unsatisfied man’s soul will felt tormented with regret.
Hence the soul of a satisfied poor man will rest in peace afterward.
It seems human have lost the knowledge of life to envy,
It seems man has forgotten the share of his riches after death,
Six feet long, six fit deep and a coffin to cap it all.
How unlucky he is after all his labor without rest,
He is entitle not to billions of dollars for his journey to afterlife,
Than a well-dressed burial ground which hold no meaning to the dead.
A written ‘will’, share among neighbors after death,
Is like a man giving out what he doesn’t own anymore.
This portrayeth not the good intent of a dead man
Legacy are laid when there is life and not in ‘will’ unfold after death.
Why not build your wealth and riches in people;
Why not create that fortune that will live positively long after thy fleshy existence.
