The Bank Of Life


 
(contd.)
 


 

You can invest in ‘Tomorrow’

I promise you the dividends will be rich

Take my word for it ma’am

Put all your money on ‘Tomorrow’ without a hitch

 

‘Today’ is still our best deal

Give it all you’ve got

The interest on it is the highest

Invest in it without a thought.

 

‘Yesterday’ is always a losing deal

People invest all they have into it

In spite of being warned, they do not pay heed

Banking on ‘Yesterday’ is like putting money on a losing steed

 

‘Time’ here is loaned out, equally to all

How you spend it, it’s your call.

Sometimes you run out of it, there’s nothing we can do

If there’s anything other problem, we can help you.

 

In ‘The Bank of Life’, you only get back what you give

So be generous with what you put in

On the dividends of it you will live

 

My accounts had been settled

All my debts cleared

My drafts had been encashed

My work was over here

 

I asked if I could leave

The man answered with a nod

Only when I was out of there

Did I realized he was God.
