we grow old in time

We grow old in time
We can't fight the clock
It will keep ticking its way
We like it or not it isn't our call

By the time we reach old age
Do we have sufficient funds to retire?
Most of the times we don't
Whatever we earned have to foot the bills

The children's education and tuition fees
Daily expenses keep rising to block our noses
Sometimes we can't breathe properly
Ah Longs come to the picture

Homes instalments, cars payments
Medical fees to save in case of a need
Don't talk of life policy and term policy
When all said and done we will have nothing

The nest eggs will take time to grow
Without a straight road the future of the old
They will look bleak hate to admit
But reality bites deep into the minds

The force saving will not help
It will be gone within 3 years
What is left for the aged persons?
The hopelessness and abandonement!

A welfare fund must be introduced
With it the workers have to contribute
With the billions collected and invested
The retirees will not have to cry and beg
