Experience
Passion, dream and space
Time like sand dripping
Greed towards young retirement
And hard work could end it all
Lies hanging on trees
Dollars like leaves
Autumn is already here
Work until your 70s
And learn to be excited
To show it all off
No, you cannot leave;
You have debt to pay
Has it changed hands?
- Cherif Khazem
