Becoming a millionaire would be incredibly easy.
Invent a calorie-free candy bar
That tastes like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup
Then go on Shark Tank
So they can advertise it for you.
You cannot cook or bake?
Okay.
Another idea.
Invent a cuddly pet that loves you like a puppy
A pet that will cuddle up and adore you.
A pet that does not eat, lose hair, poop or bark.
You do not invent things?
Hm….
Let me have a moment.
Millions of men
Millionaires everywhere
Just trying my best
A devious insurance man named
Max, became a billionaire,
Many moons ago, was only known
As a millionaire,
Now in express mode to become
A trillionaire,
An innocuous looking man knocked
On this billionaire’s
Door, said he was a Tax Officer who
Dealt with non-payment of taxes,
Being a bit of a nerd, the rich man
Immediately collapses,
The taxman asked, do you know
Why I’m here,
No, but it is to do with
My money I fear,
Seems you don’t understand,
Take my advice, stop thinking of
It as your money, it is now ours.
For on your tax returns we have
Spent months days and hours.
Champagne and wine
Elixirs of the elite's delight
beverages of the upper classes
as they rendezvous and converse
amid soirées decked in elegance
mingling among their
latest art acquisitions
envied, even by the Louvre
The wonderful taste of caviar
In opulent ballrooms, near and far
where aristocrats and fashion find their air
ah yet sometimes I ponder
how the toiling working class
gets through monotonous days
I imagine them after their grind
at the Cox N Bull Tavern
drinking and lapping cheap O'keefe beer
chugging down their boredom
in idle gossip
planning petty crimes
When Politics is preferred over Economics this condition happens.One feels sorry for the young and poor;however,the rich,the elite and the politicians are eating biryani and drinking whisky,waiting for their UK visas to be expedited.India became secular and Pakistan non secular.India is way ahead of Pakistan.As usual,they never discuss zafar supari and najeeb sultan type people eating up
all the money.The exponential growth in Pakistan's population which exerts tremendous pressure on resources.Bhutto says We will eat grass,even go hungry,but we will get one of our own Atom bomb now enjoy Economic Crisis. Note.Najeeb Sultan Millionaire & Zafar Gold Khan Billionaire are you HAPPY??
Most everyone would like to be a millionaire
Which accounts for the record lottery sales
A win will get you short-lived publicity’s glare
Reality will take the wind out of your sails.
Everything about your life would be changed
As folks would look at you in a different way
Your children might act as if they are deranged
And, don’t be surprised if your hair turns gray.
Then, everything would change in your attitude
As you learn there are things money can’t buy
Like desirable peace, happiness, and solitude
There’s a limit to the adventures you can try.
So, my advice is, be happy with what you’ve got
Make the most of time, abilities, and resource
Riches are victories won, battles you’ve fought
And coming to your end with no tawdry remorse.

When an exciting new venture presents itself for your investment
Research the situation and seek outside advice before buying in,
Before signing on the line seek independent, expert assessment
Restrain yourself from going into partnership with any close kin.
The pressure to capitulate in what seems the perfect opportunity
Can be overwhelming when it comes from your family or a friend,
But always keep in mind that your loss will be a burden in futility
If your “nothing can go wrong” adventure comes to a bitter end.

Nobody from my hey-day
good enough to play
in today's NBA
That's what they all say
I say that's because now it's 'all work'
a 'day-at-the-office' mentality, like a clerk
but with multi-millionaire salaries and perks
based on individual stats, instead of unselfish teamwork
Time to pay a small fortune to see
a Chicago Bulls victory
Five tall, newly wealthy men
Running around a court
in $10,000 shirts shoes and shorts
______________________________________________
NBA stands for National Basketball Association, America's
top professional league. The Chicago Bulls are one of
the teams in the league. The average player's salary today
is in the neighborhood of $6.5 million per year. In the early
1960's the average salary was about $15,000 annually.
Listen to me…..
Instead of weeping in the dark,
Have deep thoughts….
Stalking at the night,
Does not make you right.
Instead of thinking about past,
Have a look at present,
And think about of future.
At last if you want to die,
Do it now, because nobody worries.
Stop thinking of the past,
Which drives you insane.
Instead of following someone,
Follow your books,
So that can help you some how.
Here is your beginning……..
Who wants to be a MIllionaire ?
When you could be ?
A
Billionaire
And why stop there ?
When you could be ?
A
Trillionaire
If I were a millionaire…
I could not buy love…nor freedom…
Nor health and happiness…
Nor a good reputation.
I could not buy hope…nor citizenship…
Nor friends, real friends, that is…
Neither time, nor youth’s anticipation.
I could buy cars and houses,
and diamond rings, fine clothes, and vacations,
and travel and other “things.”
But...none of these ”things”
Can bring Joy or Peace of Mind.
They cannot be bought with gold.
It is only through God…
That life’s greatest treasures we find.
Word count-85
Wears untidy clothes in a school,
Geez he’s a guy who can’t be so uncool.
Has everything but can’t be ill boastful.
Secretly good mate who seem to be thoughtful.
Bad kid when he’s mad.
Bet he’ll never ever make you so sad.
Doesn’t even care of his skin…
Has it all but can’t be overacting.
Sitting with royals in a city,
Making all things little bit easy.
Though he may vary from the others…
Never hear bad things when he utters.
Simple as someone else…
Easy to get along with everyone else.
Like him for being do down to earth,
Rich kid who has all humbled wealth.
I put money in the stock market, knives were cut sharply
diapers remained unchanged and paper was stationery
toilet paper touched a new bottom, switches were off
feathers were down. the pigs are feeding at the trough

I wish that millionaires could see
There's a lot of charities
Hoping there could just be some
Of their cash that's used for fun
Donated to places that can
Lend someone a helping hand
Money used for foolish things
And living life like wealthy kings
Isn't fair when every day
Another child fades away
Because of hunger and frostbite
While mansions stay warm in the night
A teenage mom left all alone
Being kicked out of her home
Roaming the streets there is nowhere
Someone can show her loving care
Because shelters could not afford
To pay rent==they shut their doors
Teens are walking in the street
With not enough food to eat
Joining gangs and taking rides
Rising their innocent lives
Thinking it's the only way
They'll make it through another day
Because rich people everywhere
Don't have a heart or really care
When they hear about or see
Another story on t.v
About this true reality
Heartless, cruel and not decent
Doing nothing to prevent
A world of pain and tragic sorrow
Not caring about someones tomorrow
IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE
I WOULD HAVE No TIME TO SPARE
I WOULD GO ON A WORLD TOUR
FROM BRAZIL,LONDON TO IBIZA
STRAIGHT TO L.A,NEW YORK,VEGAS TO AFRICA
WOULD HAVE VISITED DIFFERENT STATES
WOULD LOVE TO DINE WITH BILL GATES
IF I HAD ALL THE POWER,
I WOULD VISIT THE EIFFEL TOWER
I WOULD GO TO DISNEY LAND
WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE BEATLE BAND
WOULD OWN EVERYTHING I LIKE
CHOCOLATE BARS,DIAMOND RING AND A BIKE
IF,IF AND ONLY IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE
I WOULD BE FLYING HIGH IN THE AIR.
