Inspired by a true story.
The past:
The twist in tale:
( Two years later)
P.S- Bob is just an imaginary name.
The past:
Once there lived a
millionaire,
Bob was his name.
He owned all the
riches money could buy,
Which gave him a
deceitful fame.
'Money is the source
of happiness',
Was his primary
conception.
Everything has a ‘price-tag’,
Was his senseless pretension.
He lost his family
and friends,
In his quest to gain
more wealth.
His excessive greed
to accumulate riches,
Left him with a
deteriorated health.
As days went by, his
sickness grew,
‘Hysteric’, he was
declared by the doctor.
His medical charges
and expenses,
Turned him into a
lonely pauper.
( Two years later)
Once there lived a happy
man,
Who, through his hard
work rewrote his fate.
He was known for his
hard work and generosity,
His life was no more
the same.
'Love' is the eternal
source of happiness,
He veered his
primary conception.
'Emotion and affection
are priceless',
Became his
heart’s engraved notion.
He got back his
family and friends,
And recovered from
his diseased health.
Love and
affection were his eternal gifts,
Which became his precious possession.
As days went by, his
fame grew,
Bob’s life became an
example.
For his generous,
kind and caring heart,
He was called as ‘Mr. Benevolent’
by the people.

This
poem is about a person, one of my acquaintances. He was popular for his wealth
and had a business which was at its best when he suddenly started to show signs
of Hysteria and Bipolar. Doctors advised his wife to leave him because it was
dangerous for both his wife and his little daughter to stay with him. He was
admitted to the lunatic asylum for about two years and after spending all his
savings for treatment he was literally left with an empty hand. I had a chance
to meet him a few days before and this is what he said “Some things in life are so precious that you’ll never
know its value until it slips out of your hands”. He worked hard and
established his previous business again, but this time with a change in
attitude, He started valuing people more than the man made crap, yeah the so
called Money of course.
