A Dream

My friend was searching a property,
He asked me, to go for an auction.
He bought a re-processed property,
And invited me on the first day ceremony.

I know a person, who was previous resident,
Few years ago we work together in a factory.
After the factory job he also goes to drive a taxi,
On the weekend, in a pub, he dreams his future.

I had paid the mortgage and property is free,
Son will get a degree and left two years more,
I had enough bank balance, it was a dream,
Before to die, I shall do extra for my family.

Why you are not worried, he always has argued?
I told him, extra money isn’t good for children,
I shall guide them to get a higher education,
Money can ruin if they don’t know how to spend?

Suddenly he died and his son gets an opportunity,
He bought a new car, start heavy smoking to enjoy,
Drinks every late night and comes with a new girl,
He lost his degree and starts to take hard drug.

One day I found him, he was lying on the pavement,
I reckoned his face and called ambulance in emergency,
His wife was mentally disordered in a home care,
Time not remains same as a person dreams it.
