Wants & Dreams

Diamond ring,24 carat designer necklace

Dresses from trendy boutiques cost the earth

Flip slimphone worth twenty grand

No dearth of money in this Wonderland


Children grow up to the song of money

Brighter than sunshine,sweeter than honey

Chaeuffer-driven luxury car to AC schools

Parents are by no means moneyless fools


Fresh fruit juice,chocolate-coated cornflakes

Struggling with book-laden designer satchels

Through spectacles they see the world

They are the children of the Mightier God


The men fit urban Machines in The Matrix

100% confident, there's nothing they cannot fix

Expensive jewellery to his wife on Valentines Day

Give a bread to the pauper............ no way !!!


Kitty parties,post-lunch siesta,soaps on the telly

Exercise can't stop that huge bulge on her belly

Someone had written"The grave is not the goal"

The diamond loses glitter...... turns back to coal
