The Fraudster

I am young and gullible,

But in all the aridity 'am spared my sanity,

And then on a sweet morning when high in spirit,

A fraudster with pyramid schemes walks up to me,

"I am your tomorrow," he says,

He wants me to loan him my life,

Promising when today is out,

He will walk in with all for me,

But I say no,for such a bad debtor he is,

Once I gave him my love,happiness,dreams and ambitions,

But he took 'em all and still wanted some more,

He never paid back,never gave back.

He is always coming but never coming at all,

I said,"Hold on till I get to you ,tomorrow,

For you are such a big lie."

When he left me high and dry with stinking dreams and false hope,

I learnt to live for today,

Doing all I can do today to live my tomorrow today..

He frowned but I knew I had to stand my ground,

For time never waits for mortals and never will,

It spins,spins ,burning and always burning out,

But him tomorrow never comes,neither does he  die,

Only today burns bright,

The only investment where my sweat

Multiplies tenfold even if too small in my hands it is to hold.
