COUNT NOT YOUR MONEY...!

COUNT NOT YOUR MONEY...!

 

Thy shall not just rejoice in worldly pleasures;

And shall not spend your time in glorifying yourself;

Nor shall you waste your time in going after meaty flesh;

As your time is running out, your lies shall not stand by you!

 

Your unscrupulous means might have helped you gain monetarily;

But shall not come along and stand by you in good stead;

Thy shall find no time when you are hapless and found wanting;

As you might have wasted all your priceless time and good people by then!

 

When you think of your past and carefree life,

You would regret for your mistakes in plenty; and

When you long for a new lease of life, wishing amends;

You shall have an abrupt and unceremonious end.

 

What you have done to while away others’ precious time;

And how you’ve played down even innocent people;

Paying scant respect to efficient but poor fellow beings; and

For being so egoistic, thinking only about your own enjoyment.

 

Thy shall be just a mere spectator, as your time leaves you  behind;

And you shall not go on forever; for you have wasted your opportunities;

Others’ hard-earned money that you usurped might not help you;

And the piled up loots will only make you say, “Health is Wealth”.

 

Realize Oh brethren! Life is not just amazing usurped wealth;

It’s not just money that matters, to hold you sky high!

It’s the morale that makes people to praise you as a ‘Good Samaritan’!

Hence don’t try to weigh down others and brag off with your self-praise!

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's not money that matters in life; for health, wealth and character are the most important virtues of life! One cannot be so selfish in just counting his money at his prime age and then regret for his wrongdoings at the end as money won't be able to stand him in goodstead at the time of old age when he has to dependent.
