On Winning A Big Lottery

The win if sure, the sum seems huge; A dream comes true, but plans not made; My life’s gonna change from rags to riches; I may live high style in a mansion of my own! Or own an island, buy a yacht; Travel around the globe, and have a great time; Insomnia would strike me first, the joy within could even kill; I could donate to charity and thank the Lord for His mercy. With money come problems too like jealousy; Newer friends and more foes; First the money must be secured; I need to improve life’s security! Or would I turn a missionary Or build a church in glorious style Or start a business profitable Or dole the profits to deserving kids? I could become a star overnight, And chief guest for many functions; Many would lure me to business, Or give me threats to life itself! Money can bring power and wealth; Money can’t give one better health; Money is root of evils too; One can’t know as to what to do. May be, I could turn somewhat mad, And feel the win was curse indeed; And pray to God to give me peace Of mind and heart and plead for reprieve! Too much is always dangerous; It is like flood on a drought-hit land! Money is needed for earthly wants; Too much could spell disaster sure!
