RICHES TO RAGS..

He walks through the eerie street at midnight all alone,

Remembering the good times when all women got ecsatic on his cologne

He thinks about the past,

How it went by so fast.

How successful he was, he thought.

He misses how everyone would drool on the flashy cars and homes he bought.

How he at social events would grab all the attention,

Always at dinner parties he had a special mention.

A story of a man who went from Riches-to Rags

A man who once while buying the most expensive stuff didn’t have to give a second look to the tags.

A story of a man who had it all and then lost it all.

No one ever imagined he would have such a drastic fall.

His world came crashing down,

All the smiles turned into frowns.

All the respect he once he had, he lost.

He could not earn it back at any cost.

Thinking of the happy times he sighed

Ever before there hadn’t been a day when so much he cried.

His eyes were moist and red,

These 15 nights, he hadn’t been to bed.

There wasn’t a sadder time he had in his life,

Everything was ruined, he even lost his wife.

Nothing was going right,

Every inch of his brain was filled with fright.

Now he realized what everyone meant when they said ‘Pain makes a man humble’

But not in his wildest dreams he thought whole of his empire would crumble.

When he had the riches, he was too arrogant and high-headed,

Others did the work and he took the credit.

Whatever happened to him was all he deserved,

He thought all his riches for years to come he would preserve.

But life is a roller-coaster and you don’t know what’s coming your way

You might be blissful, without worries one moment, but no one knows what will happen the next day.

There is no sign of hope,

His world has broken loose, which was once tied with tight ropes.

He thought he was gifted; he thought he was blessed,

But now all that people say about him is “His life is messed”

So, he still walks through the eerie street at midnight all alone,

Remembering the good times when all women got ecstatic on his cologne

He thinks about the past,

How it went by so fast………
