live within the means

 

The mother cat and her kittens

The neighbour collected them

Put them under the lamp post

On the rising light of the sun


The kittens meow

No sign of the mother cat

Apparently she isn't around

Even the meowing doesn't attract her


The back lane neighours

They are immuned to all the sound

The other stray female cats

They sleep or show no interest


By the late afternoon

The silence of the kittens

Without the mother cat

They will die of hunger


Don't try to have many children

If the married couples can't provide shelter and meals

It will drain their resources and living of sorrow

Live within the means; children and every day living
