Lived an Imprudent Life

All the worldy gains,

And the money I made;

Left me dying in pain,

Did not come to aid.

All I took with me

When I reached the heaven,

Was the tainted soul,

And all the sins seven.

The Lord staring at me,

Asked me buy back your soul;

With all your power and might,

And your treasure and gold.

I put a relentless effort,

In acquiring all the riches;

I live in worldy pleasure,

Topped the rating of fitches(financial rating agency).

Lived in the faked dreams,

Lived an imprudent life;

Ignored the awakening sound,

Coming from the heavenly fife.

Oh! Lord forgive me,

Give me the ruthless pain;

For loosing the humanity,

For the worldy gain.
