Vestiges



For all high value we put in the riches and opulance,
It goes to the other hand when
we are not in existence.

If life is merely spent in gathering this fragile riches apart from the necessity,
what would be the  leftover for the futirity
And it questions our persisting identity.

What the two words we shall write for the life
What the two works we shall do for the people in distress,
these will stay with; For always.
