The story of a poor man’s life

There are some rules life follows
These rules are not known to many
These rules make sure you live your life
Without saving a single penny

Rule no.1 is “Bad will follow bad
But good won’t follow good”
You will never feel everything going good
But once things go bad, they sometimes leave you without food

Rule no.2 is “However hard you try,
If you are born poor you will definitely die poor”
You may be born in a rug
But you will definitely die in a sewer

Rule no.3 is “Go ahead and Kill yourself
Coz nobody ever cares for you”
“Your death will too be considered a liability”
“People turning up for your funeral will be few”

Rule no.4 is “You have no right to speak
Till the moment you are not wealthy”
“Whatever the wealthy do, they are always right,
Being sick of money is the new healthy”

Rule no. 5 is the last of all the rules
“Life loves to see you in pain”
Your attempts to reduce the pain
Will always go in vain

These rules are made by life
And are not man made
Life tends to lose you in oblivion
Till the moment your last breath fades

I don’t see any escape from it
I see the doom of the forgotten
It’s like a rich man wears the riches of the world
And the poor man wears torn cotton

A rich man has land, A rich man has vehicle
A rich man has a wife
A rich man’s kid can’t even imagine
The story of a poor man’s life
