A do-before-danger fish,
Wasn’t willing to perish,
So, swimming up the river
It lived in safe deep water.
A do-while-in-danger fish,
To live long was its wish,
But was caught in a net
And its fatal end it met.
A do-after-danger fish,
Couldn’t swim and rush.
When the water dried up,
A bird swallowed it up.
A dull headed stupid,
Perishes like the third.
His precious life is lost
And thrown into waste.
The lazy one is the next,
Coming in the above list.
As a thief of precious time,
He had lost his life prime.
The smart one is the first.
In the list, he’s the best.
He’s a successful person,
And shines like the Sun.
the figurative way he writes make me in fervour.....really he is a great in that sense now see again The lazy one is the next, Coming in the above list. As a thief of precious time, He had lost his life prime. he makes me to realize many beatitudes
