Here we are again, at the home of “the merchant”;
“Come buy my grains, I bet they will cook in an instant”.
So we rush every ‘Dick and Harry’;
We buy and buy so much in a hurry.
“The merchant” so wise at his game;
Yes he is the sinister that whisked our minds with his tales
Of how he won different deals without a thinker
Making us feel our ideals must be weaker
So we get home to view our purchase,
Only to be dazed and amazed
that what we deemed as a record purchase,
was nothing but stupidity and disgrace
The morale of the story is simple to explain
But in all honesty very difficult a method to retain
It is all about why we busy-buy those wrong ideals,
from merchants-of-folly we call friends and buddies
Life is a lesson and yet the teacher!
Flocking with the right company is the only way to save the day
As long as we do not remain in the world stained with sin and blisters
We are surely bound to escape “the merchant’s” deceit that has caused so many “success-delayed”
