Our Own Lifeline Poem by Apu Mondal

What's our lifeline?
Earning and saving
A few dimes and nickel
For a sweet bun or quick
Sandwich
Walking up the ladder to
Corporate success
To fill our coffers
Teaching the trade to
Survive like ourselves,
Selling what people have
Yet buy by chance
The saints tell us to see
And understand the future
There is no heaven or hell
But in what we buy or sell
A silver line left by God
For those who care to see
And be blessed.
