Of all the wealth one has acquired, <br />Health is the best, as it can let us to stand composed, <br />Without any needs of helping hands, <br />That desperately calculating our trough, <br />Of health insurance or the stingily saved dollars, <br />Of all the vehicles that one has acquired, <br />Their legs are the best, as these have to be light, <br />Not to feel heavy with accumulation of toxicity, <br />Take them where they like as the wings of the birds, <br />With the piercing eyes and the ambition in the mind, <br />WE can make holes in the organs and the souls, <br />The souls can be bartered for the new, <br />After the oxidation of the good and evil alike, <br />The punctured body has to be kept and maintained, <br />The heavy piggy bags that will groan and moan, <br />Caressing the pain one has to feel oneself, <br />Of all the wealth one has acquired, <br />Health is the best, so we can continue to enjoy, <br />What we have saved and worked hard for.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barter-trading-of-souls-and-bodies/
