Literature: Hard Times
ONCE UPON A TIME
Next comes the landlord when the kenkey seller is gone
His screams are enough to make you quit it all
You stand there and all you can do is to look up
That dressmaker you haven’t paid over a year would
add to your problems by spewing oceans of insults on you
living in a hard time has and would never be glamorous
ONE DAY
‘Is there a way out of this disaster?’ you would quiz
The sun rises but no matter what sets
It may look like there would never be an end
Believe me, suffering has a slender body
Yet there is a man on Earth called Hope
When you are down, you should look up to him
He would bring his furniture and keep you comfort
THE END
After much tribulation, the sun would set
And success would ride his horses to your doorstep
He would put you on a pedestal bigger than Gates
Showering you with emeralds and platinum
wash you with a soap made of an everlasting Arabian perfume
Then you shall remember those hard times no more
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
The future holds enough glories for you
Don’t give up before lives gives up on you
