Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Rhyme

Till I Am Laid To Rest

If our life is predestined and our fate preordained
Why stress and strain, why live a life of drudgery
Oh, why toil in vain, why to the grindstone be chained,
Let's indulge in a life of slothful luxury.

Abdul Malik Mandani August 3, 2022 at 6:36 AM The more mileage you put on your car, sooner it will wear out and breakdown on the road one day. Better to garage your car, wash it, clean it, take it for a spin once in a while and put it back in the garage -- if you catch my drift! lol.
