The Zip
Zip your pocket
When you have taken too much
Zip your purse
When you have spent too much
Zip your mouth
When you have spoken too much
There is always a limit
And so a zip is invented
By the genius
In the name of God
For your own sake
To put a bar to your greed
To control your overspending
To prevent a slip of your tongue
But sometimes there is an exception
Never zip your love and affection
From your family
Never zip your sympathy, kindness and help
From the people in need
Never zip your piety
From the almighty god
Eureka, so many metaphorical meanings
Of the zip in our lives
