Poem Title:
Poem
If I Were A Millionaire If I were a millionaire.... There goes the plaintive cry of a popular song.. What a catchy phrase to incite one to dream on... In the daily grind of making a living we are mostly blind... Scurrying hither and thither strapped to the coattails of time.... If I were a millionaire.... Gladly would I sing along the words in that popular song playing in the air... Heck I can even modify the lyrics as timely proof of my personal flair.. For as a millionaire living happily as in a song, there is time for song and dance.. I need not chase after Father Time for other dreamers will perform to my dance... If I were a millionaire... Money worries will not cloud my style of living in the sunshine and at the beach... I can daily sing merrily and dance freely, carefree and unfettered in relief... I will have countless friends for company and none shall I turn away hastily... Even fair weathered friends and their friends can be part of my happy family... If I were a millionaire... With my carefree living ways, all songs and dances and frittering time away... There comes a time when I should stop the live music and take stock some day... For there is a millionaire, bless his kind soul at 82, who most wisely did demonstrate… For true and meaningful happiness, spread some wealth and aid the poor desperate… If I were a millionaire… My gold and wealth I should rightly share with those in need somewhere, anywhere… Cut the music, stop the song and dance for urgent help and assistance are sorely needed there… After all is said and done, even one such as I, must surely pause at the pearly gates at St Peter… I wonder and I fidget and fret, when the time comes, shall I bypass or shall I be welcomed to enter… If I were a millionaire…. To the final end, will I still be one through the gates of Heavens or am I cursed into the depths of Hell…? 05 Oct 2015
