Retirement

Retirement

You must think of your retirement
the day you start to work
when all the spending is done
the body will be weak to work

Who will support such weak bodies
used sugarcanes
that the state will disown speedily
Take some money put it aside
Nothing is better than dignity
For children might make you poverty
an excuse to ursurp your privacy

Save and save
Each coin is a blessed grace
to pay your bills
when you are living extra days

It takes twenty years
for someone to support you
It will take thirty years
for you to support yourself
After fifty, if you die at seventy
for the long twenty years
who will support you?
