a poem by Purushothama Rao R

When we run out of gas
We refill it

When we run out of power
We generate it

When we run out of knowledge
We transcribe it

When we run out of affection
We exercise it

When we run out of anxiety
We relax a lot

When we run out of health
We medicate it

When we run out of sleep
We tranquilize it

When we run out of love
We exchange it with the new fiancée

But when we run out of life
Can we extend it?
