How to Count a Thousand Bucks?

How to Count a Thousand Bucks?

How to count a thousand bucks?

With a bestfriend who never count.

How to measure time of a year?

With a bestfriend who always missed.

Five hundred twenty five thousand,

Six hundred minutes…

Or more than thirty one million seconds,

What a long way to measure a year?

And to multiply it by three,

Subtracted with a month or two, 

That’s how long I’ve been gone.

But to a bestfriend who never count.

It was just a day long pass.

He never counts…

He never will.

How to count a thousand bucks?

With a bestfriend who never count.

Start it with how to spend.

And on how to check its change,

Just as how to reminisce.

Memories before that three years.

Spend first the time of today.

With another moment to cherished.

And then when you begin counting.

A thousand bucks out from hand.

Looked at what you had bought.

Or how far you had gone!

For a bestfriend who never count.

A thousand bucks is just a memory,

Newly found.

Re: my bestfriend Ton found a thousand bucks.

We spent it traveling to Abulug and around Pamplona.

They met incidentally, unknowingly.

In a circle of laughter and bliss,

They were strangers in every way.

Alienated to the world long known

So they’d created a connection

Where no one can fathom

For only fate and destiny

Know their hearts’ mysteries.

They walled themselves around.

From the world of hatred and grudge

The world from where they were cursed.

By life’s indifference and reality’s wrath

They regard themselves a gang.

Where no one want to mess around

They stand together in same ground.

In crime, in game, in danger and in fame

As one in wilderness, no one can tame.

They know how to polish one’s fear.

And to make one self as another’s gear.

Oh! Here once their fraternity!

Where everyone have the ability

To go beyond one’s reality

On a gang once used to be.
